Flavor Profile
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
