Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
it's very close to the 1953 cask #1674 for Wealth Solutions, only a notch oakier and a little more aromatic as well, which makes them even. Sort of. Quite a lot of leather and tobacco, then overripe tropical fruits (mangos) and some mentholated oak extracts. The bacon's also louder than in the sister cask and then some whiffs of damp earth do arise. What's impressive is the freshness and the fact that in no way it's simply a sherry bomb
restaurant Palate
almost identical (I'm comparing it with cask #1674 as we speak). A lot of oak spices, tangerines, a little vin jaune (right-o, dry sherry), smoked ham and Virginia tobacco. It feels old and impressively fresh at the same time, which is quite a miracle although, as almost always at this age, the nose was more entrancing and, say vibrant
timer Finish
pretty long and with a grassiness from the old oak
