Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
it’s interesting that we aren’t too far from the MoS despite the different kinds of casks. Having said that, this one starts more right on honey and beeswax, and probably also on more stewed fruits, including tropical ones. Rather unusual hints of dried litchis and even Chinese litchi liqueur, then cured ham with pineapples as well as a little incense, mentholated cigarette (Kool?) and plain fresh mint. It’s a rather demonstrative nose, very appealing, with a sherry that’s pretty discreet so far. Less oak than in the bourbon version
restaurant Palate
just like with the bourbon version, there’s some kind of gentle fight between the oak and the rest, the palate’s profile being more or less identical to the nose’s. Tropical fruits jam, mango chutney, bitter oranges, then more black pepper… Once again, no specific sherryness as far as I can tell, but the oak gets slightly louder after a while
timer Finish
rather long and more and more on heavily infused herbal teas, such as hawthorn and rosehip. More pepper, cloves and mint-flavoured liquorice in the aftertaste
