Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
a curious immediate fusion of steel wool and apricots. Rather active wood on display as well with these notes of coconut water, pencil shavings and vanilla cream soda. Continues with notes of putty, raspberry syrup, strawberry curd and hints of butter biscuits and lanolin. Interesting stuff, a tad extreme in some aspects. With water: perhaps the label is playing tricks on me, but I do get this rather pleasant floral aspect once water is added, a kind of geranium and carnation note. Also a little red liquorice and pine cone
restaurant Palate
new leather, oak sap, graphite, carbon paper and foam banana. A bit tough, but the texture is good and syrupy. With water: mushroomy, earthy, mossy, banana liqueur, tarragon, cough mixtures and various fruit cordials. Some cocktail bitters to boot!
timer Finish
medium and rather spicy, some more leathery aspects, black pepper, cough syrups and some sticky sweetness
