WOLFBURN A Little Something Different - 60 ans LMDW

Nose : refined, dynamic. Creamy and vanilla-scented, it is simultaneously exuberant, fresh and herbaceous (cut hay). Very mature, it becomes increasingly fruity (pear, orange) and honeyed (lime blossom). Cocoa powder and grated ginger gradually form a smooth carpet on which heady flowers (peonies, roses) are laid. _x000D_ _x000D_

Palate : creamy, silky. At first, the cocoa and fruity notes of the nose are reproduced, but only so they can be transcended... The mid-palate then changes the register with marzipan and acacia honey. On aeration, walnuts and dates again highlight the pleasant impression of sweetness that emanates from this whisky. _x000D_

Overall : long, assertive. The minerality (chalk, pencil lead) and spices (cinnamon, cloves) come through in a single block. Eventually we are standing before a golden field of barley, bathed in the last rays of sunshine. The retro-nasal olfaction is extremely juicy and exotic (pineapple, banana), while the empty glass offers roasted notes (coffee), chocolate, and spices (grated ginger)._x000D_
