Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's very sexy chocolaty/vanilla-ed whisky with a good measure of maple syrup; on the other hand, it's maybe lost its Scotchness and we're rather wandering through Kentucky. Ginger cake, pinesap, corn syrup, cappuccino, coconut, plum pie... It's actually nice but the sweet oak is really forward
restaurant Palate
a little less sweetly bourbony on the palate in the arrival, then it's the oak's bitter spices that seize control. A feeling of overinfused green tea, a lot of ginger and capsicum, some bee propolis and quite some green pepper. Almost an oak infusion. I had thought this baby would be much sweeter and rounder, Nadurra-style if you will. There are fruity tones, though, around bubblegum and pear drops
timer Finish
long, green, quite bitter
