Tasting Notes

Colour

deep amber

air Nose

yes this is complex and very elegant, we’re well in the same family as the best old cognacs here – it’s probably the same people who buy/drink both anyway. Old polished wood, dried figs, roasted chestnuts, cough lozenges, dates, then more herbal notes, chartreuse, vetiver, parsley… gets a tad more winey then, with touches of old Port and a very nice rancio. I told you, cognac…

restaurant Palate

more polished wood, tobacco, cough lozenges and dates. Really big bodied in fact, with the oak really working as a seasoning agent and never becoming drying. Fruitcake and then more and more liquorice. Frankly, it’s great whisky despite the heavy price tag ;-)

timer Finish

impressively long, rather dry, more on chocolate, ganache and more wine and spices. Old amontillado. More liquorice in the aftertaste
