Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

extremely different. Very extractive, with many spices that even manage to tame the smokiness, but it’s true that it all works extremely well, the fight creating a kind of third dimension, very chocolaty and quite gamey. In short, it smells a bit like the best pipe tobaccos (I remember a heavy one from my pipe days that was called Balkan Sobranie). With water: more game and various herbs. Well-hung pheasant marinated in chartreuse with a little chocolate thrown in for good measure ;-)

restaurant Palate

very big, very unusual, very good. The peat took the lead this time, together with many rich dried fruits, Seville oranges, crystallised angelica, prunes, bergamots, violet sweets (yes that’s great) and tar/salmiak. Greatly pervasive, I’d say. With water: fab. Smoky mint-flavoured liquorice

timer Finish

very long. Some briny and coastal notes now – it was about time! Some lemon and tangerines too
