Tasting Notes

Colour

pale amber

air Nose

a tiny wee bit of pencil shavings at first nosing, then an avalanche of dried fruits and soft spices. Figs, dates, raisins, Christmas cake, dried bananas, dried pears, also milk chocolate… With water: vanilla, sponge cake, butterscotch, custard… Not extremely ‘sherry’, but who cares? White chocolate

restaurant Palate

goody good. Feels a bit younger than it is, but that’s the wonders of refill wood. Baklavas and sweet wines from the Loire valley (botrytised chenin blanc, if you wanna know everything) plus dates and, always, some chocolate and some straight oak, pencil-shavings-style. Yeah I know that would rather be cedar wood. With water: water works. Becomes brighter and fruitier, loses its cedar-woodiness, and starts to display topical fruits. Well, a few of them

timer Finish

medium, rather clean, on a fruit salad. No excessive cinnamon, that’s cool. Got to love refill. Touches of menthol, cinnamon and aniseed in the aftertaste
