Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
at first sniffs, it could be almost any old aged spirit, whether cognac, armagnac, malt whisky or, yes, rum, such is the casks’ influence. That means there’s a little of all those spirits plus bags of raisins (all kinds) and other dried fruits, such as dates and prunes. I find this nose remarkably rounded and sexy. After that, more chocolate and whiffs of wood smoke, bonfire, more old rum, old pinot noir… In short, an almost perfect nose, quite magnificent
restaurant Palate
even the attack is sexy, liqueurish, oily, thick, sweet (ginger liqueur, orange liqueur) but crash! The oak becomes so invading and the tannicity is so loud that it becomes difficult to sip. I mean, one drop is fine but more than that makes it almost painful. Oak infusion
timer Finish
long but as bitter as Underberg. Did you ever try Underberg?
