Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

almost subtle after the pretty monstrous 2000’s, even at almost 60% ABV. Big sulphurous notes but of the pleasant kind (bicycle inner tube, matches, gunpowder). Asparagus. Very nice, dry nose actually. Not winey at all. With water: reminds me of the First Cask but with more delicacy. Liquorice, mint, coffee and burnt matches

restaurant Palate

starts sweet and candied (raspberries), gets then a tad rubbery (like when we were chewing rubber bands at school – didn’t you do that?), tarry and finally rather orangey. Works well despite the very high ABV. With water: no changes with water, quite unexpectedly. It got maybe a tad more tarry but that’s all

timer Finish

long, with notes of prunes dipped into chocolate
