Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
no blast of vanilla here, rather a clean, grassy and delicately fruity profile, very contrasting with the two Italian sherried Macs. Mostly white garden fruits, apples, pears and white peaches, with whiffs of lilies of the valley and lilac. Nice clean profile but the whole’s a bit shyish. Let’s see what water will do to this baby. With water: oh, it closes up like a frightened oyster! It doesn’t like water at all (unlike oysters, yeah, yeah). Becomes oddly metallic
restaurant Palate
excellently earthy and citrusy, which is a profile that I like a lot. Quite some bitter herbs as well, cough syrup just as in the Silver Seal, peppermint, lemon, rosemary, a little candy sugar and in the end, just touches of aniseed. Playful yet clean and straight. With water: takes water better than on the nose but it’s still no Ian Thorpe. Gets extremely grassy and kind of prickly and metallic at the same time. Silver spoon?
timer Finish
long and, when neat, clean and fresh
