Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
initial light scents of spent matches and plasticine give way to nut oils and dried fruits, predominantly very dark raisins and dates. A note of damp earth emerges later, accompanied by traditional pipe tobacco. With water: some candied cherries and copper (think old pennies) appear. A very attractive nose indeed
restaurant Palate
quite delightful, and though it's a rich sherry influence (leaning more towards fine PX than oloroso, truth be told), the distillate still asserts itself with its honeyed notes and very slight salty touches. With water: it becomes perfect, echoing with chestnut honey, raisins, figs, that signature pipe tobacco, and a splash of orange liqueur adding a fresher dimension
timer Finish
long, with hints of spiced meats. Definitely reminiscent of an Indian dish. Roasted chestnuts and a bit of liquorice appear towards the end
