Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber – mahogany
air Nose
classical sherry, starting coffee-ish and chocolaty, quite dry in fact. Notes of old books and rooibos tea as well as a little soy sauce, getting then a little more vinous (it ‘ranciotes’) but still quite dry (walnut burs). Little fruitiness. With water: no major changes except for a little mint coming through and maybe hints of peat. What’s more, the whisky got completely opaque
restaurant Palate
much sweeter at the attack, hyper-concentrated, with lots of brown sugar and cloves. It’s quite tannic in fact, getting drier and drier with time, very chocolaty and certainly more vinous than on the nose (lots of blackcurrant jelly, cherry stalks tea, highly reduced wine sauce…) Very drinkable without water but let’s still see what happens with a few drops: it does get less dry and more orangey and honeyed indeed, as well as spicier. Lots of cloves again but also a little pepper and soft paprika. Bigger notes of raisins as well but then the tannins strike back
timer Finish
long, on raisins, bitter chocolate and coffee – probably the nicest part in fact. A very compact finish. Maybe not the best sherry monster ever but certainly a good, thick one. 85 points .
