Tasting Notes
The neat nose had the dark sweetness of a coffee chocolate liqueur and mocha Tia Maria truffles, as well as honey roasted carrots and parsnips. On the palate a Mozart Kugel - a ball of pistachio marzipan covered in a layer of nougat made from pistachios, hazelnuts and almonds. After the addition of water, we brewed a Rooibos cinnamon, turmeric, ginger and nutmeg flavoured tea with warm caramel notes as we were served chocolate cake with walnut brittle and chocolate-coated marshmallows. Following twelve years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill American oak PX hogshead.
