Opening A Tin? Show Us!

[Terry Lennox]

Peterson Flake with a date of 12/07/23. Just received this as a gift for Christmas and decided to open it for my bday (which was actually 2 days ago). Packed some in my new Peterson Harp 01. Will probably jar up the rest for additional aging.

It will do well in a jar. Will darken and ripen up. Come back in 10-12 months.

Opening a tin of SG Kendal Cream Flake. This is one I haven’t tried. In my search for a Lakeland to cellar, this is the 1st of the final three to try. Nice dark flakes. I smell wonderful Virginia and Burley with just a hint of something. Tonquin? I’m searching for a blend with a strong Lakeland essence. I’m not getting that from the tin note. We’ll see how it tastes…

Gosh, that looks beautiful. There’s a very tiny bit of Latakia in there, yeah? Would you say it still has an influence on the flavor?

Yes, very happy with what I saw

And yes on the Lat, too. The influence is greatly diminished, but it is still there. To put that another way- I'm not so sure I could confidently identify lat if I blind-tasted this, whereas I definitely could @ fresh and up to (and maybe more than) 10 years old
