Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
there was more sherry in these batches, which perhaps suggests this was bottled some time ago. Lots of mushrooms, leaf mulch, breads, cocoa powder, liquorice and tobacco leaf. Pretty classy I have to say, and wearing its lethal ABV with deft aplomb. With water: leafier, broader, more generous, some big and fun notes of Jamaica ginger cake, golden syrup and dark chocolate spiced with chilli
restaurant Palate
Pow! Bam! Kerrsplat! Was this bottled in tribute to a fight scene from the 1960s Batman TV series? A serious heavy hitter, and more brutal than the wrong-footing nose suggested. Still there's plenty brown breads with treacle, bitter dark chocolate, more tobaccos, dried mushroom and some sort of monolithic spiced latte. With water: still rather brutal and potent, but there's some classy and rather nice notes of sultana, toffee and fudge emerging now. Coffee with brown sugar, balsamic and more of these nice chilli chocolate vibes
timer Finish
long, nicely bitter, bready, herbal and persistently chocolatey
