Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

it’s one of these ‘natural’ HPs, most probably from refill hogsheads. So it’s rather mineral and waxy, with a moderate smokiness in the background and whiffs of both heater honey and garden fruits, mainly apples and gooseberries. Also touches of graphite oil. The whole is pleasingly light and rather elegant

restaurant Palate

starts a little dry and then rather citrusy, with also quite some cinnamon. Some tea as well, more cinnamon, touches of nutmeg… And then more pepper. It’s no sweet HP, the dry oak being rather louder on the palate than on the nose. Good body at 43%

timer Finish

medium long, a little drying and grassy but with some very nice notes of lemon and even a little salt in the aftertaste. A little mint as well
