| MacNair's Lum Reek |
Music: Hugo Kant https://tinyurl.com/n4v5emnv, Mood: Dark and cold.
Nose: After about 20 minutes: dates, hints of peat. Citrus notes, honeydew melon forgotten in the cellar next to a broken bottle of sherry.
After 40 min: Cellar muff with dark mushrooms, roast meat, dates wrapped in bacon, freshly squeezed oranges, milk chocolate, leather. Dark dunnage warehouse.
Mouth: Peat, phenolic, maritime, salty notes. Sweet juicy orange juice with pieces of kumquat. Over caramelized sugar with espresso. Fir Honey from the Dark Abyss.
After 60 min: A freshly bitten peppercorn, allspice, cocoa powder, umami, stomach bread.
Finish: Heavy, dark red wine from the Ribera del Duero 2005, dry finish, but only slightly astringent.
With a teaspoon of water:
Nose: Dried fruits, sultanas and zibebes mixed with figs.
Mouth: Peat is expressed to ashtray, the day before 4 gauloises bleu. Pepper spiciness turns into ginger spiciness, nutmeg, cinnamon. Red orange juice spritzer with a good dash of grapefruit and pineapple juice.
In the finish, a 50% dark chocolate melts down the throat into the dark.
Night is finally falling over the city. Chimney smoke is in the air - winter is coming. It smells like snow.
