Color

Old gold

Nose

Fresh and fruity flavor of baked apple with sugar and cinnamon. Apple pancake with maple sirup. There is also a flowery and slightly herbal component, dandelions. Pleasant without any false note.

Taste

Powerful Swiss herbal drops and dark caramelized sugar, slightly burnt. The presence of sherry is obvious. Dark bitter chocolate comes through and plenty of liquorice. A little unusual but absolutely pleasant.

Finish

Long with sherry, liquorice and herbal notes.

Comments

Off-mainstream - a new tasting experience and definitely very good.
