Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
totally naked, as if the cask had first been used around 1870, and so integrally shaped by time. The main consequence is that it feels younger than 30, but there’s strictly nothing to complain about as it got superbly orchardy, without a trace of oak, rather just touches of praline and cappuccino. Forgot to list the fruits, that would be cherries, oranges, gooseberries, and just one tiny pink banana. Perhaps a whiff of cough syrup as well
restaurant Palate
absolutely lovable and much fruitier than current HPs that are usually more mineral. This has multi-vitamin fruit juice and even marshmallows at first, then the same cough syrup as on the nose, and then indeed, a grassier chalkiness than usual, which would lead us to a feeling of fruit peelings
timer Finish
rather long and as if someone had added a wee pinch of salt to that multi-vitamin fruit juice. Also lemon juice and olive oil. That was a good idea. Leafier aftertaste, not the best part, but there’s a remedy, just have another glass
