Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
certainly a different style, heavier than the 1970 but let’s remember this baby spend much more time in wood. In fact, it’s a little orgiastic, so to speak, as it’s extremely aromatic, rich and jammy, not too far from the style of some very old Demerara rum (our beloved Port Mourant). So yes, we have Demerara sugar, game, figs, bacon, cured ham, blood oranges, flowers (peonies, as often with sherry monsters), chocolate, sandalwood, raspberry jelly, prunes… What a maelstrom! With water: yeah yeah yeah, same kind of development as with the old 1970 by SSMC. Stunning notes of tobacco!
restaurant Palate
classic very chocolaty sherry monster, with also some raspberry jam, liquorice and espresso coffee (not decaf, George!). And the same notes of Demerara and bitter oranges. Very, very classic and classy… With water: purrfekkt. Orange and tangerine liqueurs plus the finest spices
timer Finish
long, very clean and fresh despite its ‘pedigree’. Great feeling of chewed Havana cigar in the aftertaste
