Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
starts well, with the trademark honeyness and plenty of stewed apples and ripe pears, but tends to become a little light and slightly tea-ish. Interesting notes of chamomile and thyme tea. It’s very nice, just a tad shy… (and not unlike many OBs at 43% vol)
restaurant Palate
surprisingly big this time, honeyed and citrusy, with good body and touches of chalk and shellfish (yeah, really). Maybe that came from bottle ageing?... Also medicinal touches, aspirin tablets, something lightly ‘chemical’ that was often to be found in various indie bottlings twelve or fifteen years ago (and Signatory was not the only ones, far from that). Maybe that came from what they were using to clean the pipes?
timer Finish
medium long, with again this ‘chemical’ feeling. Pine, lavender…
