Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
well, this is proof that whisky doesn’t obligatorily have to be old to be wonderful (a proposition that only feeble minds will translate into ‘age doesn’t matter’). Perfect combination of jams, teas and meaty/tertiary aromas that re more to be found in older sherry monsters in my experience. Also very nice whiffs of both balsamic and raspberry vinegars. With water: more on horse sweat and leather. Make that a saddle
restaurant Palate
rich and creamy, bold, with rather more honey than usual and some rare herbs. What could this be? Maybe wormwood… Also a rather big flintiness, almost a little fizzy. With water: it’s still not immensely complex but everything’s there and it’s perfectly half-sweet, half-dry. In short, balanced
timer Finish
long, with vinous touches. Capsicum?
