Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold. Fresh bourbon wood!
air Nose
ho and oh, early grey in abundance, then banana pie, juicyfruit, plantain, young agricole rum, cigarettes (Camel, the doctors' preferred, or was it Luck Strike?) and a whole pack of liquorice allsorts. This is clearly something else, with American oak having literally absorbed any 'excessive' (I agree that's a judgement) smoke and ashes. Well, time may have helped. With water: there, almond milk, putty, books… That too comes from aging
restaurant Palate
holy smokes! In truth I'm reminded of the old official 30, only with more power. Mangos, bananas, smoked tea, vanilla fudge, mint, salted water… etcetera. With water: salt, lemons, pies, smoked fish, clams, touch of olive oil. Do not add too much water
timer Finish
fairly long. Scallops terrine with riesling and perhaps a little squid ink and mint sauce. Well done, I'm hungry now
