Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

very spirity, buttery and caramelised at first nosing, with whiffs of oak sawdust that grow bigger and bigger. Also hints of ginger and cinnamon but the whole is quite simple and raw. Something green in the background (newly cut grass). Not unpleasant but rough

restaurant Palate

very sweet and kirschy, with notes of distillation. Quite some vanilla and milk chocolate but the rest is rather simple and almost neutral, except for hints of ripe apricots and plums, all that being slightly ‘vulgar here’. A hot, raw spirit

timer Finish

rather long, hot, like fruit spirit mixed with caramel and vanilla. A hipflask malt to warm you up in winter, quite oaky. 77 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: the ueber-fantastic Jeanne Lee sings Rain.mp3 in 1993 with David Eyges on cello. Let's all remember the great Jeanne Lee and buy her music.
