Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
typical. Overripe apples, figs, dates, raisins, honeycomb, guignolet (cherry liqueur), tarte tatin, and perhaps these very fashionable tarts, lemon and basil. A wee slice of pecan pie as well. All that is singing in unison, everything goes as planned
restaurant Palate
alternately dry (chocolate) and fruity (oranges), with some oak but not too much, and a growing tartness, very enjoyable. Limoncello aged in toasted oak? I’m also finding apricots and perhaps a handful of raspberries, which is very cool, and which really lifts this baby. Only the low strength made it a tiny wee tad thin(nish)
timer Finish
medium, orange-y, with the usual mint and eucalyptus (there must be an eucalyptus forest behind G&M’s warehouse, but I never saw it). The aftertaste is dry (coffee)
