Tasting Notes

Colour

deep amber

air Nose

this reminds me of the Pinot Gris VT that my friend Olivier once made and matured in an ex-Brora hogshead. It’s really a winesky, or a whiskwine, or whatever, and guess what, this kind of works, but this equilibrium is very fragile. Leathery, cigary smoke, plus smoked raisins, burnt honey, and whatnot. With water: raisins and bits of leather crushed together and infused in Cognac. Like

restaurant Palate

some kind of syrupy peat… Well I could use this next time I have a flue. Liqueury wine, PX indeed, late harvest apple wine (something Canadian, and that’s good), some kinds of leathery and smoky walnuts… The whole’s really thick. With water: one of the sweetest smoky whiskies I’ve ever tried

timer Finish

long, very syrupy, perhaps a little cloying
