Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
coconut, lime zest, soft waxes, leafy earthiness and spicy rye bread. Continues with some pressed wild flowers, some pretty grassy olive oil, orange bitters and dunnage notes. I really enjoy these rather rich, bready and slightly yeasty notes. With water: pineapple syrup, lots of orange peel and orange cordial, cooked grains, more various oils and a little paraffin. Quality!
restaurant Palate
excellent! It’s one of these rather fat and fruity ones. Lots of spice, some engine oil, graphite, muesli, dried apricot, green banana, mineral oils, camphor and soot. A really enticing fruitiness that’s rather textural and unfolding. Mandarin liqueur and something slightly meaty as well, like Bovril. With water: more bready, more medical, more yeasty and more of a tart fruitiness such as gooseberry and green apple peelings
timer Finish
Long, slightly dry, lemony, musty, notes of fermenting honey, more mineral oils, cough syrups and brown toast
