Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
we aren’t very far from the SMWS when undiluted but this one is more compact, rather cleaner, with less ‘whacky’ aromas and more finely chiselled lemony, waxy and mineral notes. Also quite some vanilla from the bourbon wood but it’s still elegant and ‘natural’ (no oakbomb). Then ginger, lemon zests, a little paraffin and a very faint chalkiness. With water: gets much grassier, with also added notes of milk chocolate and a little more lemon. And less vanilla. After a good five minutes: superb citrusy notes, with much more oranges and clementines
restaurant Palate
it’s funny how this one tastes just like the 1970 at first sipping, only coated with more vanilla custard and fudge that make it rounder. Lemon pie. With water: yes! Zesty, complex, citrusy, nervous… Superb
timer Finish
long and with exactly the same profile. Fantastic citrusy notes and just a tiny-wee oaky touch (ginger)
