Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

very subtle, with mainly ashes and charcoal. It clearly needs water to wake up, so let's add some... With water: no improvement, unfortunately. Some white chocolate, which is quite odd in this context, let's admit it

restaurant Palate

it's good, it's woody, it's powerful, but it's far from the elegance and purity of the Ten. The wood is really dominant, and these few notes of olives and capers won't change much about that. With water: it's not bad, but in the woody style, I prefer the very eccentric Scorch. The spirit has a hard time breaking through, I find. There's a lot of ash, with the feeling of having swallowed an ashtray

timer Finish

long, very dry, with lots of ash
