Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
again rather classical Clynelish wax but wrapped up in some butterscotch and fudge from the sherry. A little bonfire smoke and some seashore freshness. Serge adds dried kelp, perhaps a drop of Moscatel and some kind of mentholy flambéed bananas. I’d also add a few drops of cough medicine and a little motor oil. Also an old tobacco curing barn and an increasingly mentholated aspect, notes of eucalyptus tea and crushed mint leaf. A few cloves and some olive oil. With water: Weetabix, runny honey and as usual a bit more earth and a few more mushrooms. Last years apples declares Serge
restaurant Palate
tobacco and chocolate, smoking a nice Cuban cigar in a nice club while chomping down After Eight mints and listening to the clock on the wall ticking (Serge goes to rather different bars than I do it seems). Some fig jam, star anise, aged Cointreau, rather sweeter than expected, but not cloying. A little milk chocolate and muesli, maybe not of the ‘wax heavy’ batches. With water: again more honeyed, some lighter green fruits such as apples, pears and mirabelles, gentle waxiness. Serge adds Jaffa Cakes, blood oranges and a wee wink of rancio
timer Finish
Good length, more fruits, wax, light chocolate, earth, still glimmers of rancio and again this elegant sweetness
