Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
no excessive raisins, that’s sorted. It’s actually pretty close to the OB, only a little more on yeast extracts and Guinness. Also some menthol, orange liqueur, and drops of old tar liqueur (goudron hygiénique), then really loads of chocolate. That’s cool. With water: lovely. A kougelhopf straight from an Alsatian grandma’s old oven
restaurant Palate
excellent, not too PX-y, or rather on proper old PX, seemingly. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy good old PX, but those are rarely used to season whisky casks, let’s not dream. Very good notes of blood oranges and sweeter garam masala. Satay (peanuts). With water: lovely aniseed and fennel. It’s getting almost pastissy, if you could say that, but other than that, chocolate, oranges and raisins are running the show here
timer Finish
rather long, rounded, chocolaty, with some honey, cloves, and pepper. A feeling of mulled wine ‘at cask strength’
