Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

very much in the style of cask #5920, which is normal I suppose, although there is a little more earth and wet sand, as well as fresh almonds. Very, very nice, maybe the most complex of them all (I mean, the bourbons). With water: ditto. Nice notes of a mineral Riesling (smoked, ha ha)

restaurant Palate

indeed, the richest, the most citrusy and simply the most pleasing. Icing sugar and limoncello on a bed of ashes. With water: lovely profile, not far from the official CS in my opinion but maybe a tad ashier

timer Finish

long and very ashy. Walnut skins? Earth and roots in the aftertaste, as well as a little more lemon
