Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep ruby
air Nose
soy sauce, beef jerky and teriyaki! We know from a few other bottlings that Mitchells had filled a parcel of very active first fill port casks in the early 1990s, could this be one of those? There are certainly some pretty porty impressions going on: ruby and crusted port notes, cassis, blackcurrant cough drops, then more tertiary, earthy and rooty characteristics underneath that. A strong impression of some Springbank character despite such a heavy drape of cask influence. With water: blackcurrant, brambles, fig jam, plum wine and aniseed. This gentle impression of children's medicine such as Calpol in the background too
restaurant Palate
extremely powerful upon arrival! You do tend to feel the alcohol, but there's also a wealth of sweet liquorice, black jack chew sweets, aniseed, cough syrup, herbal ointments, Buckfast, celery salts, cocktail bitters, dried tarragon, resinous hardwoods and strong, black tea. The nose seems like a distant cousin by comparison in terms of power! With water: full on blackcurrant cordial, red fruit cough syrups, dried mint, eucalyptus, aged porter beer, subtle traces of peat, some walnut oil and more strong notes of aniseed and liquorice. Also a feeling of aged Fernet Branca too. Extremely potent and dominated by these herbal, medicinal and rooty characteristics
timer Finish
long, on bitter artichoke liqueurs, black pepper, teas, rich earthy tones and more things like bramble wine, natural tar and fir wood resins
