Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
rich gold
air Nose
maple syrup, maple syrup and maple syrup. That’ll be the strength at play. So, with water: the maple syrup remains front and centre, but we’re now joined by all manner of honey cakes, jams (apricot, mirabelle plum), and then, gradually, a growing smokiness, led as ever by its faithful emissary, lapsang souchong tea. Also flint, and a few puffs of brake pad
restaurant Palate
this seems excellent—smoky, candied, salty, smoky again, with some extreme grilled bacon… But we shan’t probe any further without adding water. With water: everything calms down a touch, thankfully. Chestnut jam, and even onion jam, then increasingly more ashes. One does wonder whether these ashes come from heavily charred casks (come on!) or from an especially peaty distillate. Or both, perhaps…
timer Finish
long, rather on tobacco, leather, a hint of spent matches, and some candied orange peel
