air Nose
I find these ones always a little more difficult, as the 'mustard' from the distillate and the 'walnut skins' from the sherry would just kind of amplify each other, sometimes creating feelings of 'sulphur', as is the case now. It's Plant and Page, really, and they're having their faithful Marshall amplifiers (well, I think). Burnt wood, burnt leaves, burnt 'other things'. Some chestnut honey in the aftertaste while there are burnt chestnut as well). With water: some soapiness, then that fades away, then we have more roasted chestnuts, meat, truffled sausage, cracked pepper, acidic coffees…
restaurant Palate
big, sweeter and really spicier when neat, this one too would go well with spicy Thai food. Well, it is almost spicy Thai food. With water: there, the fruits are coming out (basically, oranges) but boy is this one spicy! And leathery at that…
timer Finish
long, bitter and spicy, but some honeyed walnut cake or something would make it more civilised in the end. Cinnamon mints in the aftertaste
