Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
blow, trumpets, there’s no links whatsoever to the evil Darkest. We rather have a very dry, chocolaty and smoky profile, some dried kelp, notes of Seville oranges and maybe just tiny-wee touches of pencil shavings. So no old bodega butts involved, I guess ;-). With water: ouch, the ginger and the pencil shavings become loud and do not seem to go too well with the brine that’s included here. Having said that, there are also rather beautiful camphory touches, parsley, balsamico
restaurant Palate
well, it is a little bizarre. Heavy cinnamon, bitter chocolate, a lot of ginger again, all that clashes a bit with the saltiness and even with the smokiness. Becomes a little bitter (Fernet Branca). With water: not quite. Dissonant. Salted blackcurrants, liquorice and anchovies in brine
timer Finish
long, on the same kinds of notes
