Description

Tasting Notes

Nose : firm, concentrated. Malted barley (Golden Promise) competes with candied fruits (lemon, pear) for beauty and presence, all enveloped in thick smoke. Then it becomes vanilla and creamy (rice pudding, salted caramel). Flowers (carnation, sweet pea) perfume its very heady atmosphere. Notes of straw add to its originality.

Palate : rich, smooth. It delicately places a basket of fruit on a freshly polished table. It contains bananas, apples, white grapes, pears, pineapple and a few oranges. In the middle of the mouth, quince jelly spreads over brioche notes. Later, noble spices appear (cardamom, saffron, nutmeg).

Finish : long, balanced. The smoke of a Havana cigar spreads its deliciously acrid and sweet perfume. Mineral (pencil lead), it becomes licorice-like or almost camphor-like over time. Slightly iodine-like, it occasionally evokes the texture of delicious sushi. A beam of light makes fine particles of dust appear in suspension. The retroolfaction reveals citrus coated with fleur de sel, and the empty glass is intensely malty and oily (olive).
