Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
office coffee (at the NYPD in 1980s movies, Pacino et al)
air Nose
chocolate all over the place, plus damp garden peat, beef jerky, linoleum, fumes, castor oil and soy sauce, plus whiffs of truffles (perhaps rather white ones from Alba). Also Nescafé and mushrooms (oyster mushrooms, porcinis). The chocolate remains in the front seat all along. With water: more classic old wood style, first rainwater, amontillado…
restaurant Palate
one of the meatiest and earthiest sherried Clynelishes I've tried. Well one of the meatiest and earthiest sherried malt whiskies globally. Some very extreme vegetal tar, very heavy salty liquorice, roasted raw chocolate beans, hoisin sauce, rubber, cardamom and capsicum aplenty, clove, tobacco… With water: it relaxes and would display more dried fruits, fruitcake, pumpernickel, now truffles and salted liquorice have not given up. Neither did coffee-flavoured dark chocolate and our dear hoisin sauce. Bring on the Peking duck!
timer Finish
long, very chocolaty and salty. Chocolate and salt is a tricky combination, unless you're Mexican (ha). Very peppery aftertaste
