Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
a previous one had a lot of kirsch. Well, this one has got a lot of old Demerara. Actually, it’s a maelstrom of sultanas, dates, praline and, as I said, rum. It’s also quite aggressive, maybe because all the previous ones had been comparatively and relatively light. Let’s add water: fab! Havana cigars galore, old pu-erh tea, humus, mushrooms… What’s not to love?
restaurant Palate
a big, big daddy. Extreme raisins, dates and figs plus some sweet notes of, well, sweets (jelly beans or babies, we’re all kids, aren’t we). In the background, pepper and mint roaring… Really big, thick, kind of imposing. With water: more sweets, mixed with sultanas. Rum baba. It’s a sin!
timer Finish
very long, with more liquorice and the menthol coming to the front. Glorious minty aftertaste
