Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
plain gold
air Nose
this ones starts straight on oak and vanilla, with little sherry at first nosing. It gets then quite fruity but not overly so, with quite some bananas (of course), butter pears and notes of pollen. The wine wakes up after a while, but it’s rather of the muscaty kind, with something that reminds me of some fresh sweet muscat from Corsica. Then it’s back on freshly sawn oak, with also hints of lavender honey (which doesn’t quite smell like lavender, don’t worry). A very clean and straightforward nose
restaurant Palate
now it’s much sweeter and fruitier, with even lots of fructose, icing sugar, kiwi and mandarins… Very spicy as well, with lots of white pepper. Somewhat hot but very drinkable, slightly bourbonny. The sherry is very, very discreet
timer Finish
very long, dryer and maybe a little too spirity (kirsch) but with a welcomed bitterness that sort of cuts the sweetness off. Very good and globally quite dry. 86 points . Bushmills 1984/1996 (57%, OB for Celtic Whisk(e)y, cask #11758) From a dark sherry cask
