Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
quite pleasing, dominated by brioche and slightly stale bread, complemented by bay leaf and fresh walnut, suggesting a hint of a sherry finish. There are definite maritime wafts, perhaps from the eponymous 'Calm Bay' near the distillery. One wonders if the casks indeed matured locally. There's also a touch of allspice and grated nutmeg adding to the complexity
restaurant Palate
enjoyable, featuring bitter orange and bay leaf again, then branching into some strawberry and grenadine notes, though I'm not entirely sure where these flavours are springing from. Walnut wine and a dash of savagnin under veil add further layers to this intriguing profile
timer Finish
reasonably long for its strength, carrying similar notes before concluding with a salty bitterness and even a hint of mustard
