The Westfalian Cask 57

Smell

A hint of BBQ and the scent of a charred barbecue grill awaken our senses and remind us of summer barbecues. Earthy nuances lend the bouquet a down-to-earth depth, while the gentle hint of an outgoing fireplace adds a nostalgic note. Sweet hints of ripe plums and the tantalising aroma of dates wrapped in bacon round off the olfactory experience.

Taste

The first sip reveals a creamy texture that caresses the palate. Cold smoke and ash meet meaty notes reminiscent of a savoury BBQ sauce. The deep, dark chocolate combines harmoniously with a hint of burnt caramel, while the ultra-earthy notes lend an unmistakable depth. Surprising nuances of smoked ham, burnt fairground mushrooms and the aroma of leather and rosemary contribute to a fascinating flavour experience.

Finish

The finish is long and astringent, with a subtle tart note of Amarena cherries unfolding. Black pepper and a subtle oak presence round off the finish, which ends with a pleasant dryness and a hint of spice.
