Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
richer, fatter and more buttery with a light sweetness of honey creeping in. With a little time it gets sootier, saltier and a rather fat and swollen waxiness really begins to emerge. Things like wax crayons, putty, clay, olive oil, matchboxes, ink wells and lemon-infused tonic water. It bears many similarities to the 15 UP version, only with a sense of greater age and an obviously punchier strength. With water: the most elegant pepperiness that includes horseradish, watercress and paprika. Also white truffle, more flinty smokiness and things like freshly bailed hay and milled oats
restaurant Palate
intensely peppery, spicy and mineral. Lots of sunflower oil, plum eau de vie, waxed canvas, lamp oil and old herbal liqueurs. Many white flowers, pollen, salted honey, hessian and a hint of buttery porridge. Really great but also rather demanding in a compelling way. With water: I can’t get away from this impression of white stone fruits, things like lychee and apricot but also hints of gooseberry and even star fruit. Although they are kind ‘dry’ in profile, rather like they appear in eau de vie form. Also kind of mustardy and sooty. Lemon oil and dried mixed herbs
timer Finish
long and vigorous, full of vapour rub, peach stones, almonds, light earthiness and citrus rinds
