CLARENDON 14 ans 2011 MBS Bourbon Barrel Velier

Nose : Rich and profound. With medicinal notes intertwined with beeswax, iris concrete, and macerated fruits (pineapple, mango, banana), the aromatic profile combines originality and exuberance. Upon aeration, scents of incense, varnish, and blooming geranium mingle with more praline and tar-like aromas.

Appearance : vieil or soutenu.

Palate : Both fresh and heady. Precisely reproducing the tropical, floral, and oxidative character of the nose, the flavour profile is supported by a delicate mouthfeel. Over time, notes of mushrooms, lichen, and dried dates highlight its tertiary evolution.

Overall : Full-bodied and silky. Flavours of orange peel, dried apricot, and currants add a touch of classicism to a finish also marked by notes of toffee, milk tea, and candied ginger. Eminently Jamaican, the retro-olfaction is empyreumatic, mineral, and petrol-like.
