Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
unexpectedly dry and very, very oaky, on newly sawn plank and sour wood (damp sawdust). It’s also quite farmy behind all that, with whiffs of fermenting grass. Some vanilla and liquorice in the background as well as hints of sandalwood and walnuts. Improves with a little breathing. With water: it got grassier and kind of milky and chalky. Also something a little metallic. And asparagus? Fern? A very unusual bourbon so far, but then again, I know next to nothing about bourbons
restaurant Palate
much nicer than on the nose when straight, very oaky for sure but the fruitiness makes for a pleasant compensation. Pineapples, vanilla fudge, fresh orange juice and honey, with a little ginger and nutmeg. Good. With water: explodes with dried fruits and spices. Kiwis, bananas, papayas, vanilla and liquorice. Spectacular
timer Finish
long, very fruity. Pear and banana drops
