Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
this is bold and all on warm butter and plain oak (fresh sawdust, varnish, lactones). Extremely oaky but with little sweetness and a very discrete sherry – if any. With water: oh, now we have whiffs of rotting fruits, very strong pipe tobacco, even well-hung game (oh well, Glenn)... What’s funny is that it’s so unusual, that it becomes interesting. Calms down after that, more on ‘regular’ tobacco and malt
restaurant Palate
once again, it’s the wood that speaks first, and very boldly. Huge tannins, pencil (like when we were at school), honey and salt-coated almonds, very strong liquorice... Big, big whisky, with a huge concentration of oak, but not of the drying kind at all. A mega Californian chardonnay? Hints of black cherries in the background. With water: a lot of salt, more dryness, hints of chilli, dried herbs (thyme)... It really got ultra-dry now
timer Finish
long, salty and slightly tarry
