Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber with brown/red hues
air Nose
chocolate and cedarwood at first, chicory coffee too (do they get that in Singapore?), stock cube, then something that's not too common at WF towers, slow-cooked leg of lamb, tajine, Mars bar… And then the expected walnuts, more chocolate, and more coffee. Some copper (old kettle). No water needed
restaurant Palate
the Ben-Nevisness is more obvious on the palate. Dark chocolate, old walnuts and pepper/mustard in the arrival, then salty bouillons and a handful of small black bone-dry raisins. Some pipe tobacco, mussels, a little clay, more coffee, some umaminess… The distillate just takes over after fifteen seconds in your mouth
timer Finish
long. Could we settle on lamb chorba with some Mexican chocolate sauce or would that be too… disruptive?
