air Nose
yawah! (hmm…) A wild thing for sure because the sherry’s gaminess really plays with the raw and slightly sulphury spirit (it’s not the kind of sulphur that comes with some wine casks – yes sherry is wine). In fact, the whole smells almost like Maggi. Do you know Maggi? So lovage, soy sauce, some scented soap, waxes, cordite, matches and… prunes, raisins and chocolate. To be honest, I’m not sure I like this, it reminds me of a few ultra-extreme officials from five or six years ago or so. Not my favourite bottlings…

… and this is just as unlikely. Interesting it is but the sulphury notes don’t combine too well with the oranges and lemons here, creating a kind of permanent two-step feeling that’s slightly disturbing. On-off, on-off, on-off… Yet, it’s nicer than the Bourbon, thanks to the sherry cask I guess
timer Finish
long, with that bitter soapiness becoming louder
