Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

powerful of course but also cleaner, straighter and rather more coherent than the 1991, starting with whiffs of wood smoke and quite some fresh almonds plus a little paraffin, then hints of sherry and Seville oranges. But that’s all I can get at more than 60% abv. So, with water: alas, it got a little dry and rather grassy. Maybe not the best swimmer ever? Hints of old papers and maybe a little ham. Wait, it does take off after a good ten minutes, with more mint and something that smells like… absinth? Also leather and more ham

restaurant Palate

powerful of course, oily, rather rich, half peppery, half vanilled and half sherried ;-). It seems that it’s very good now but let’s not take chances. With water: aaaah, now we’re talking! It’s not that it got very complex but it’s much fuller, creamy, fruity and spicy. Bitter oranges, citrons and pepper, vanilla and rum… a very good combo

timer Finish

long, on the same notes, with maybe a little more ginger in the aftertaste
