Tasting Notes

Colour

Ruby

air Nose

We are in very similar territories: cherry cola cubes, flat root beer, medicine balls, olive oil, motor oil, hardwood shavings, black pepper, a tiny glimmer of green fruit, dried cranberries and then soy and plum sauce with some five spice. A little bitter chocolate, dried sage and rosemary, then strawberry liqueur. Again we’re flying extremely high. With water: more notes of fresh cherries, along with the maraschino variety and a few drops of cocktail bitters, brown sugar and blood orange. Marzipan morphing into Battenberg cake

restaurant Palate

This one is slightly more tannic and peppery than the Kingsbury. Not quite in the same league but this is still a majestic mix of dried herbs, earthy peat, oily phenolics, farmyard and chocolate. Cherry brandy, smoked candyfloss (if such a thing exists), medicine, coal dust, oyster sauce and peat resins. Again this almost crusted saltiness and deep, emphatic, ancient sherry character. With water: some green pepper, sandalwood, coal smoke, ointment, tea tree oil and a few sloshes of top notch mojito

timer Finish

Long, undulating and wavering between phenolics, the freshest and richest of espresso, dark and ancient sherry, earthy peats and ripe dark fruits. Plenty medical complexities between everything as well
