Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

we’re back to more austerity here. Wet limestone, paraffin, soot, mashed potatoes, grass... Gets even waxier over time. With water: ah yes, that works. Our beloved wet dogs are back (even after quite some minutes), green tea, lemon honey, hops, ‘good’ porridge and the very big notes of thyme. Very interesting!

restaurant Palate

very good attack on lemon, oak and vanilla. Lemon balm, kiwis, good white rum, lemon honey. Very clean spirit. With water: it got more candied and more honeyed. Kumquats, vanilla and white pepper

timer Finish

rather long, a little grassier now
