Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bright gold
air Nose
slightly dusty, sharp and strangely ‘yogurty’. A funny mix of putty, sandalwood and then foam strawberry sweeties. Indeed, the whole profile shifts rather more towards sugary sweetness and some nicely honeyed qualities. With water: bracken, damp sawdust, crushed cream crackers, plain oatcakes and a bit of soggy cardboard
restaurant Palate
ouch! Extremely hot and sharp. And then… oh God, Millie! What are you doing to me? Soap suds, Fairy liquid, bath water and these kind of cheap ‘perfumed’ wood chunks you buy in naff Scottish tourist shops. Not great. With water: still strangely hot and very aggressive. Hot molten plastic, burnt polystyrene, acetone and more rather nasty soapiness
timer Finish
disappears mercifully fast but leaves behind this aftertaste riddled with floral soaps and hot plasticine
