Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
we’re somewhere between both worlds here, with both the grassy smokiness that one can find in some independent HPs and the roundness and honeyness that’s more to be found in the OBs. There’s also a roasted side (toasted bread, grilled herbs), quite some dark chocolate, some menthol and then a slightly rough combination of hay and grains, with touches of rubber and leather from the butt. A little beeswax as well. With water: the rubber and the hay come out more
restaurant Palate
big, rich and nervous, very citrusy and chocolaty, with touches of salt and then a rather fizzy spiciness (pepper, ginger). With water: softer, with more bitter oranges and toffee
timer Finish
medium long, rather honeyed, with that greenness remaining in the aftertaste, together with some orange marmalade
