Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

amazing, this baby’s completely different. Where the 7643 was smooth and jammy, this one is meaty, with also much more gunpowder, truffles, even gas… I won’t use the S-word but indeed, it’s rather, well, leathery at first nosing. The good news is that all that becomes quieter after a while (well, your olfactory bulb filters it out), leaving more room for… meat, ham, rocks, cigars…

restaurant Palate

again this is not like the sister cask, it’s rather rougher, grassier, spicier, more liquoricy as well… Salmiak, strong tea, liqueur-filled chocolate, wine jelly, merlot (yes), Port, sultanas…

timer Finish

long, rich, grassier…
