Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold orange. In my experience, orange hues and a kind of evenness always imply that caramel’s been added
air Nose
the oak feels more (warm sawdust – all OBs have that these days), but there are also lovely notes of praline, chocolate, mushrooms, chalk, cigars, sandalwood, espresso… All that really works
restaurant Palate
despite the drying oak that feels a bit too much for my taste, this cigary, herbal, liqueury, tarry, and waxy combination really works. Goes on with raisins, prunes, drops of date arak, speculoos, mocha (plus Schnapps!), bitter chocolate… It is a characterful malt, which is obviously great
timer Finish
rather long, this time more on leather again, green tobacco, coffee beans, bitter oranges, more bitter chocolate…
