Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this one opens on a rather fruity profile as well but here it’s things like prunes in Armagnac, dates, mushroom powder, hessian cloth, pollen and dried mango. All very lovely and giving the impression of being a tad ‘bigger’ than the ABV might suggest. Continues with baked apple, plum pudding and some fragrant sandalwood
restaurant Palate
a nice balance between baked orchard fruits, custard, white pepper, menthol and fruit syrups. Hints of herbal extracts, soft tannin, lemon oils and a rising tropical fruit lushness on the back of the palate. Extremely quaffable stuff. The wood is present but poised and controlled. Hits of dried mint and green tea
timer Finish
surprisingly long and on caraway, dried banana chips, rosehips, lime jelly and black pepper
