Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

a rich honeyed nose with a lot of vanilla and plum jam, a profile that reminds me of ex-bourbon Balvenie. Then soft spices, star anise, cinnamon, touches of rosewood, a little incense… This is quite lovely. There’s even some kind of peat, rather unexpected. With water: lovely whiffs of tobacco, leather polish, engine oil and coal smoke. A little eucalyptus as well, putty, turpentine

restaurant Palate

a very hot and nervous start, between pepper and tart fruits, tangerines, limes… Once again there’s some green peatiness that blends well with the pepper. Excellent. With water: excellent spicy oak and peat, pepper, hints of cardamom. A little maple syrup, honeydew

timer Finish

quite long, spicy. Cinnamon, vanilla cream
