air Nose
phew! It was a light finish; they've not gagged this splendid well-aged Ben Nevis from a great vintage. Even if it is a softer one, more on pine honey, light raisins, moss, mushrooms, poached peaches and pears… I especially enjoy all this humus, it's like having a stroll in the woods after the rain. There's also a little pipe tobacco, while we really appreciate that this was oloroso and not PX. With water: more earth yet! And pine needles, compost, more mushrooms, pine bark…
restaurant Palate
wonderful, I really get why they've done this finish that really worked out. I remember there used to be some energy bars that were gathering walnuts, oranges and honey, but the name escapes me. I'm also finding pink pepper, Szechuan, Timut… I'm a sucker for this too. With water: some saltiness and oranges, wax, more bitter dried fruits. More bitterness
timer Finish
long, on pepper, bitter citrus and herbs. Propolis and a few bitter tannins
