Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
burnt Brussels sprouts and black cigars (those Toscani we sometimes mention), then soy sauce, old copper coins, oloroso, bitter chocolate, walnut wine and Bovril. We’ll keep this short because of the high strength. With water: thin mints, amontillado, mocha, carbon paper, oxtail soup, fumes… Sounds great but I would say it somewhat lacks focus. Typical late 1970s ‘lish
restaurant Palate
very strong and a tad uncertain. High-peppered marmalade, raw chocolate, silver, mint and black tea… This is certainly not an easy drop – oh and 62.3% vol. With water: not easy indeed, even at +/-45% vol. Leathery, with some chocolate and Thai beef soup, old walnuts, Maggi, glutamate, pepper, potash salt, ink…
timer Finish
long, salty, a little leathery. More glutamate, readymade Chinese soups, raw fair-trade chocolate (I’m joking, fair-trade shouldn’t impact the taste…) I just hope that given Brexit, we’ll never see fair-trade Scotch whisky coming to our shores! I AM joking
