Nose
More brutal than the old Cadenhead, all on chocolate and wood smoke, oxtail stock, parsley, old oven, Chinese sweet and sour sauce, chives, garlic, damp earth, mushrooms, pipe tobacco, soot, charcoal, and unlit Havana cigars.
Palate
Impressively assertive, with notes of Chinese elements over a thick layer of peat, tar and soot, cough syrup, old herbal liqueurs, beef stock, and cocoa powder. With water, green tannins (ginger, nutmeg) emerge.
Finish
Very long, greatly sourish (Chinese sweet and sour sauce again), earthy, ashy, smoky, with a lot of pepper-flavoured chocolate in the aftertaste.
