Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
reddish mahogany
air Nose
do you like chocolate, prunes and armagnac? And orange liqueurs, black raisins and crème de cassis? Then this bay’s for you. Having said that it’s void of any tertiary notes, no game, no meat, no tobacco, no minerals and no earth. Just prunes and chocolate – and affiliated aromas
restaurant Palate
a little pencil shaving in the arrival, which suggests a newish cask, but other than that, all is fine, with a heavy sweet – but not too sweet – sherry blending well with the firm distillate. Chocolate again, prunes again, cherry liqueur, bitter oranges and, this time, pipe tobacco. It’s technically a sherry monster, but I find it balanced and even kind of fresh, thanks to a little menthol that comes out
timer Finish
quite long, maybe a tad drying. Bitter chocolate, grape skins
