Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

this is armagnac. Prunes, black raisins, spicy chocolate, coffee-schnapps (indeed), then rocks and matches, gunflints, gravel and guignolet. Or rather maraschino. It’s big and fat, and yet it hasn’t lost all of Bunnahabhain’s engaging lightness. With water: touches of earth and wet concrete. Hessian, tobacco…

restaurant Palate

it’s Demerara rum this time, blended with armagnac indeed. Chocolate, kirsch (there), molasses, prunes, Corinthian raisins, fruitcake… It’s not exactly a summery malt, but I like it. With water: smoother and fruitier. Cointreau and raisins

timer Finish

quite long, and quite fresh given the heavily sherried profile
