Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

slightly restrained, which is perfectly normal, especially compared to the Elixir above, which was immediately chatty due to its 48% ABV. Leather and chocolate do express themselves, though. With water: and here comes flint, chalk, very ripe peaches, baked quinces, bread dough, and damp earth…

restaurant Palate

stunning on the palate straight away, with a cigar-like note and fresh fruits, quite amusing. Plenty of blood orange too, which is just perfect. With water: a cocktail of tropical fruits, lightly smoked over charcoal. That must be possible to do, no?

timer Finish

long, with a positively piercing fruitiness, while the soot and chalk remain ever-vigilant, so to speak
