Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well then, ripe bananas, rum and honey – we’re in. And then comes eucalyptus and lemon verbena, laid over some sumptuous roasted figs, grand-restaurant style. The G&M style, always somewhat distinct from the OBs and often a little more complex and less overtly oaky, is clearly in play here. With water: waxes and hand creams, moisturiser, pollen, ripe apples… We’re loving all of this
restaurant Palate
thank you for proving me wrong, this is now woodier than the OBs, though more in the direction of infusions and herbal teas, all steeped in honey. Plenty of very ripe fruits rather than dried or as jams, particularly apricots. With water: stop right there, it’s perfect – no need for more. The medicinal side is absolutely lovely, especially the camphor and mint notes
timer Finish
not overly long but balanced and elegant, with beeswax captaining the ship
