Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
salmon
air Nose
typical fruity (blackcurrants, strawberries) and slightly leafy/grassy notes. Otherwise we aren’t too far from the two sherry-matured Arrans, with pleasant hints of struck matches and tiny whiffs of rubber bands. A clean product, let’s say ‘mid-winey’ on the nose
restaurant Palate
it’s the wood’s spiciness that strikes first. I don’t know if these casks were first fill Margaux but if they were, they sure had a lot of oak components left. Ginger, cinnamon and cardamom, then the expected strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrants jams, and finally hints of cherry jam as well. Not too sure the spirit has much of its say here but the casks were of high quality, so…
timer Finish
medium long, clean, fruity, ‘liqueury’
