Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

fumes and chocolate, gunpowder and ground coffee, touches of crushed cassis, truffles and gas, raspberry eau-de-vie. Classic PX, more or less. With water: rather more leather and ginger, which reminds me why I'm not a huge fan of PX in my whisky

restaurant Palate

really heavy, peppery and sweet, reminding me of some obscure, long-forgotten Outer-Mongolian sushi sauce. Teppanyaki sauce with green peppercorn and German blackberry wine. With water: the sweeter side comes out, but sour and bitter spices keep running the show

timer Finish

long, rather on peppered liquorice and even moe leather. A feeling of cabernet franc in the aftertaste
