Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
less oak, possibly because it’s younger than the others, and more earthy, humus-like tones. Other than that, some honey and quite some overripe apples and pears as well as, maybe, a faint soapiness. Water may straighten that out. With water: more mint and sawdust as well as more straight malt and grains. Porridge
restaurant Palate
rich and creamy, starting a tad brutal that is. Burnt oranges? Other than that it’s pleasantly citrusy, with also notes of date liqueur like they make in the whole Middle East. Maybe the oak is a tad too loud now. With water: becomes fruitier, this baby swims much better on the palate. Also a little mulled wine (but white, not red)
timer Finish
rather long, grassier this time. This baby kept changing. There’s even something slightly bubblegummy in the aftertaste, together with more spices (cloves). Maybe a tad bizarre…
