Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold. Probably bourbon cask
air Nose
starts bold, a tad varnishy and estery at very first sniffs, but the expected fruitiness is soon to unfold, with melons and peaches first, and mirabelle plums and gooseberries second. Also a little pineapple and even pears, signs of youth. Youthful indeed at almost 40 years of age! Then more vanilla and a little mint. With water: a little more oak, banana skin and apple peelings but everything is under control
restaurant Palate
well, there sure is much more oak and tannins than on the nose. Quite some green tea, bitter oranges and then many spices such as cloves, white pepper and paprika (something dry). Nutmeg. A tad too oaky for my taste just now. With water: works well, the tannins got tamed and replaced with notes of marzipan, orange cake and vanilla cake
timer Finish
medium long, with good balance between the oak and the spirit. Quite some cinnamon in the aftertaste
