Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
reddish amber
air Nose
the sherry is rather assertive at first, but it’s clean and pretty cohesive which is good news. It doesn’t ‘feel’ like a finish which is always good sign I think. In fact it’s rather elegant and leafy with these notes of damp earth, soft tobaccos, bitter chocolate and mushroom soup. Some hints of celery salts, plum wine and hessian cloth. Very enjoyable and surprisingly soft. With water: even more leafy now and developing a slightly menthol edge like mint leaf and eucalyptus. Still this nice bitter chocolate note
restaurant Palate
you feel the wood technology a little more on arrival with these kind of peppery and spicy pencil shaving notes. Although, it’s also still quite earthy and chocolatey just with added notes of black coffee, soot and cherries. Get’s slightly meaty as well with notes of black pepper and beef teriyaki. Quite an interesting wee dram. With water: still pretty cohesive with water and maintaining this peppery, meaty and spicy quality. Although the pencil shavings are also still present
timer Finish
good length, rather earthy, spicy, sooty and with glimmers of cereal. The mushrooms are also back
