Tasting Notes

Colour

mahogany (dark oloroso!)

air Nose

pure, liquid chocolate at first nosing, then we have more oranges, both fresh and dried, as well as a good deal of ‘good’ sulphur (that is to say sulphur that’s closer to gunpowder than to, err, rotten eggs or H2S). Gets then very gamey and even a tad acetic (balsamico but also soy sauce). Old walnut liqueur. A spectacular dry sherry monster on the nose, for lovers of the genre only

restaurant Palate

I’m sorry, this is no whisky, it’s plain old ueber-fortified sherry. Maybe they should double-check their bond book, mistakes can always be made ;-). But good it is!

timer Finish

long, luscious, chocolaty and jammy. Chocolate-coated prunes in Armagnac. Blood oranges in the aftertaste
