Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is inviting and rich, with a deep earthiness that reflects its name. There are vibrant aromas of fresh herbs, moss, and a subtle mineral quality, alongside the sweeter, fruitier notes of ripe apples, pears, and dried figs. The influence of the oak is evident, with aromas of vanilla, toasted wood, and a touch of smoke. The sherry cask adds complexity with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a hint of spice. The overall nose is well-balanced, with both herbal and sweet elements playing off one another.

TASTE: On the palate, Moment Jord is full-bodied and smooth, with a harmonious blend of earthiness, fruit, and oak. The earthy notes of moss, wet stone, and fresh herbs are complemented by the sweet, juicy fruits of apples and pears, as well as dried figs. The oak contributes rich layers of vanilla, caramel, and light spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg. There’s also a touch of sherry influence, with flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a hint of orange peel. The overall profile is complex, with the sweetness and spice beautifully balanced by the earthy and herbal qualities.

FINISH: The finish is long and warming, with the earthiness and oak spice lingering on the palate. The sweet, fruity notes fade gradually, leaving behind a satisfying warmth and a light smokiness. The aftertaste is clean, with a subtle mineral quality and a touch of dried fruit sweetness, making for a smooth and lingering conclusion.
