Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
it’s a rather meaty and vinous kind of sherry at first nosing, although it becomes rounder and more on dried fruits after a few seconds. Quite a lot of old balsamic vinegar, leather, old Madeira (also Banyuls), old wine cellar, mushrooms, cigar humidor… I like this kind of sherry-matured malt. With water: some mint and camphor come out, always welcome at WF Towers. Black raisins
restaurant Palate
pretty excellent, starting all on spices and bitter oranges, with only a slight grapiness in the background. Blackcurrants, chocolate, prunes, old armagnac… Indeed, something French. With water: it seems that we wakened a little ginger and white pepper. Bitter oranges
timer Finish
quite long, with more ginger, pepper and cinchona. Bitter oranges in the aftertaste
