Tasting Notes

air Nose
I don’t know why, all OBs are shier, more self-restrained, more on tranquil cakes shall I say. Scones and shortbreads, fudge, and malty beer. This is perfectly all right, it's just that I won’t remember it forever – and that’s not just Alzheimer’s. With water: distilled ale. Hold on, isn’t that the exact definition of whisky?
restaurant Palate
good of course, sweet, malty and cake-y, a tad ale-y and a little bitter. Some disturbing rubber in there, but I’m sure water will fix that. With water: I was right (shh-shh), this baby became a rather perfect malty and cake-y dram once reduced. Cinnamon rolls, chestnut purée, shortbread, sweet ale…
timer Finish
medium, a little sweeter, cake-y, with some fudge and even more puréed chestnuts than before
