Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw. First nosing: quite sharp! It’s very sulphury right at the start, not far from H2S, I’m afraid. Then I got some hot milk, porridge, yeast, and some whiffs of rubber band. Some rather heavy burnt sugar. Not repulsive but way too ‘yeasty’ for my tastes
restaurant Palate
quite creamy, with some sherry and some honey. It develops on orange marmalade, with some notes of ginger tonic and infused tealeaves. Hints of candy sugar, with lots of crystallised orange towards the finish. Globally, the palate is bold and satisfying, most enjoyable. Too bad the nose is so sulphury, but the great mouth makes it worth 82 points in my book. MUSIC – Recommended listening: she's an excellent 'smoky slide guitar' player and singer! Natalia Zukerman from NYC does a groovy and elegant Fool's gold - mp3 . Good, eh? Please buy her music... WHISKY AND MUSIC - My old friend Paul Adam loves both whisky and music, especially Serge Gainsbourg's. That's why he did let his bar being personalized with one of Gainsbourg's most famous profiles, sand-blasted on the glass. Would that work with Janet Jackson too?
