Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany/coffee
air Nose
I’m immediately transported to the past, back to warehouse tours with John MacLellan, bung-puller and valinch in hand. What memories! At any rate, this is a rich and weighty sherry on the nose, evoking the impression of nosing a very old ‘V.O.R.S.’, with an explosion of prunes and currants. Pipe tobacco, roasted pecans, triple sec and crème de menthe follow. A magnificent nose, quite direct, with even fewer flaws than a Botticelli
restaurant Palate
drier, focusing more on aged walnuts, unsweetened coffee and very dark chocolate, before moving towards increasingly wonderful notes of bitters of all kinds. It turns slightly drying, but this almost becomes a positive trait in this context. Chestnut honey brings some sweetness back after about a minute
timer Finish
fairly long, very elegantly dry yet gentle at once. Blackberry and blueberry jam linger, with a peppermint and Christmas cake aftertaste (better use this descriptor while it’s still in season)
