Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

more oils but also more pencil shavings. Chocolate, dark pipe tobacco, burnt wood, mentholated liquorice… Well, the jury’s still out. With water: overripe pears and dried ones do come out. Figs

restaurant Palate

thick, heavy, invading, and pretty oaky. This is something I had expected from the bloodtubs, but actually, this hogshead (?) has more oak. Cloves everywhere. With water: spicy raisins, cloves, cinnamon, caraway… This is heavy. Also obvious notes of Campari, unless that’s Aperol

timer Finish

long and really very Aperoly
