Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very dusty at first nosing, with lots of caramel, cocoa and cardboard. Notes of praline, flour… Quite interesting in fact, with much more oomph than the rather poor Connoisseur’s Choice North Ports
restaurant Palate
really powerful and very sweet, getting hugely peppery and even quite peaty. It makes me think of Talisker in a certain way. Goes on with some caramel crème and vanilla sauce. The finish is long but a little drying. Anyway, a very nice surprise considering this distillery’s pedigree. 83 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: a strange encounter! Swedish member of Ensemble Nimbus Håkan Almkvist aka Orient Squeezers plays the sitar and all sorts of other Indian instruments on Kadesh.mp3 and Garuda.mp3 . Not exactly Ravi Shankar, but he's good, isn't he? Please buy his music - it's on their website.
