Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
This distillate shows a pale golden yellow color, limpid and crystalline.
The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas of
praline, prune, cherry macerated in alcohol, vanilla, dried violet,
hazelnut, chocolate and honey, with almost imperceptible alcohol pungency.
In the mouth has intense flavors, with alcohol pungency which tends to
dissolve rapidly, excellent correspondence to the nose, pleasing roundness,
very balanced sweetness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of
prune, cherry macerated in alcohol, honey and praline. This distillate is
distilled in a batch steam operated alembic still and ages for 5 years in
wood barrels. |
