Tasting notes
Nose : deep, powerful. A delicate note of salted butter caramel scattered with dark fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry) dominate the initial nose. Develops into aromatic plants (vervain, lime blossom), spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), dark chocolate and candied fruit (apricot, peach). Citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit) lend it a beautifully fresh aspect.
Palate : lively, dynamic. Just like the first version, a superior spirit puts this whiskey in a league of its own. With a remarkably fine expression, it opens on spices (paprika) and heady florals (rose, lily). The mid-palate softens on to notes of bourbon vanilla and toffee. It gradually becomes increasingly exotic (mango, persimmon).
Overall : long, elegant. Its gorgeous fruity flavours evoke marmalade, apricot flans and even strawberry tart. Balsamic (oak, eucalyptus), it lingers with cocoa beans and fresh tobacco. The retro-olfaction is ashy and slightly scorched while the empty glass is brimming with dark and exotic fruit.
