Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
lots of dense, polished oak. Very sweet smokiness, tar, pine resin, workshops full of sawdust and graphite oil. A funny mix of sweet soot, salted butter, mercurochrome, pink peppercorns and diesel. With water: pencil shavings, cumin, hot buttered toast, dried kelp, rubber fishing wellies and salty Bovril. Also odd notes of powdered foundation, old rope and peppered mackerel
restaurant Palate
Punchy! Sweet peat, ashes, icing sugar, brake fluid, mechanical oils, green pepper, black olives, turpentine and paraffin. Big peat and big wood in a head on collision. It just about works. Just... With water: medical, oily, sweet, ashy, petroly and with plenty of lemons, waxes, raw paraffin, crayons, turmeric, hessian and new leather
timer Finish
long, very peaty, iodine, gravel, miso broth, black olive and sweetened brine
