Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
it’s not a blast of sherried notes that happens at first nosing, rather something like cold coffee, cold beef stock and chocolate. It gets even meatier after that (ham, game) but never bold. All elegance and dryness. Keeps developing on parsley and lovage, hints of oyster sauce, old Bourgogne and quite some spearmint and even lemon balm. Very complex
restaurant Palate
superb, even at 40%, such is this one’s depth of flavours. Starts on raspberry jam mixed with mint leaves and chocolate (ganache, truffles), then prunes and raisins, then it’s back to strawberries, then bitter oranges, old armagnac... There’s also a little dryness from the wood but just enough to keep this one straight. Also notes of blackcurrant jelly and then spices (a little pepper and quite some cloves)
timer Finish
as long as a 40% malt can get, perfectly balanced, with added notes of liquorice. Beautiful sherry cask
