Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
the profile’s roughly the same at first nosing despite the much higher strength but then it develops on more coffeeish and fruity notes. Bold notes of torrefaction, dry tealeaves and nougat, then quite some rum and raisins, the whole getting rather oaky after a while. Same hints of strawberries… It’s a bit harsh, let’s add a few drops of water. Great news, that really works, bringing out nice whiffs of wet grass and hay, crushed leaves, green tea, chicory, mastic… Very nicely vegetal and herbal, with also a little tar
restaurant Palate
rather nervous at first sip, maybe a tad rubbery and quite resinous. Very malty again, grainy, getting really hot then. With water: that worked again but in a different direction, more on Xmas cake, dried oranges, black nougat and mocha (Irish coffee). Lots of presence
timer Finish
rather long, caramelly and ‘roasted’, with also quit some dried figs. Very good but it really needs water. 86 points . MUSIC - Recommended listening - We need a little bouncy music from time to time so let's have the Midnight Juggernauts ('an indie-electro-synth assault poised before Armageddon) doing Shadows.mp3 . Gaddafi (aka Andy) is on guitars and Noriega (aka Vincent) is on synths... Which shouldn't prevent you from buying their music! JUST A VERY NICE PICTURE - taken in a warehouse at Lagavulin Distillery. Beautifully cubist I think, and don't we feel the barrel did put the table in front of the window so that it can jump out as soon as it's ready to conquer the world?
