Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
hey it does survive and well after the tremendous 105, thanks to a subtle meatiness, some wax, sunflower oil, camphor and just 'a forgotten old bottle of Jaeger'. Everything's old-school here, including the liquid. With water: as often, earth coming out, mushrooms, old wine cellar, saltpetre… There's a tiny perfumy touch too (rose petals, litchi)
restaurant Palate
some sweet sherry, walnut wine, ginger tonic, beef jerky, black raisins, Korean BBQ with wee bits of kimchi… With water: gentler and more, let's say 'traditional'. Malt, honey, tarte tatin and raisins. The sherry got much sweeter, almost 'PX'. Did you notice that PX in whisky has gotten common as houseflies these days?
timer Finish
pretty long, sweet, with balsamic touches
