Tasting Notes

Colour

orangey gold (strange colour)

air Nose

it’s the Silver Seal with ten less years and ten more degrees, simple as that. Same earthy tones, clay and even mud (clean mud, eh), with added notes of rum in the background. Seriously, I’m wondering if this wasn’t (secretly) finished in a rum cask. Same hints of maraschino as well. Am I not dreaming of Italy too much? With water: between an old wine cellar and some fresh mushrooms, with some rubber and shoe polish behind all that. Not the rubbery kind of rubber, if you see what I mean

restaurant Palate

ho-ho-ho, this is powerful! A blast of rum once again, bitter oranges, soft and black peppers, black cherries and these earthy tones that just wouldn’t go away. We won’t complain. Gets a tad too peppery after a moment, water may be needed again. With water: sweeter but also a little more rubbery. Bitter oranges?

timer Finish

long, on oranges, leather, earth and rubber
