Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
the combination of Caol Ila and PX seems to have created a third dimension, with dried flowers, patchouli, leather, antique balm, and English cigarette tobacco (no more brand names, it'll come back to bite us someday. OK, untipped Benson red box). Then camphor balm and again, violet liquorice. It's very talkative, speaking a different language. With water: it becomes very medicinal. Lots of mint and eucalyptus, somewhere between toothpaste and cough syrup
restaurant Palate
the sweetness of the PX is obvious, beyond that we're moving towards something like a peated Macvin du Jura, with lots of leather and tobacco, leading to a rather formidable bitterness in the background. Genuine fermented gentian, not macerated. With water: raisins and bitter orange, with a bit of brine
timer Finish
long, quite bitter. Italian amaro, turmeric, nocino
