Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
and yet another style, this time we’re on a drier profile, much more on dark chocolate and coffee beans, with a good deal of coal and wood smokes. Touches of asparagus, game, leather and very old dry sherry (or walnut liqueur). Brilliant and, sadly, a style that’s nowhere to be found anymore, probably from some genuine sherry casks that had contained genuine dry oloroso sherry for quite some time. With water: oh my, we have asparagus soup all over the place! A little soy sauce too, love that
restaurant Palate
what a strange one! Not everyone would like it because it’s ridden with ginger, those parsley notes that sometimes abound in heavy sherry, some slightly shaky old-style orange liqueurs and then quite a lot of chocolate sauce (modern mole). With water: became very big. It’s one of these malts that, quite bizarrely, are bigger at around 45% vol. than at cask strength. A lot of ginger from the oak (from a new transport cask?)
timer Finish
long, dry, with metallic touches
