Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
unsurprisingly, a glass of petrol. Noses like 10yo rather than 30yo if you ask me. There's also a ton of putty, mineral oil, plaster, soot and mustard powder; globally an extreme and austere style, but with a glimmer of white fruits and waxes as well. With water: gets fatter, broader, more waxy, more oily, on aniseed, putty, limestone and some extremely grassy rapeseed oil
restaurant Palate
young apple eau de vie, with more waxes, mineral oils, suet, fir wood and very powerful fruit eau de vie impressions. Brutally strong though, so… with water: really doubling down of feelings of fresh fruit distillates, marc de gewurz, tarragon pickled in spirit vinegar, roast parsnips and even things like turpentine and mercurochrome. Hard to untangle such a beast, but it's an undeniably charismatic and fun distillate
timer Finish
medium, sharper, more salty and still with these impressions of salt-baked vegetables and hyper grassy cooking oils
