Tasting Notes
The aroma left us with very different imaginings and associations. One Panellist walked into an old barber shop, another into a 'festival bathroom' with that typical waft of sweet and floral, slightly chemical (in a good way!), while yet another baked a cherry pie. To taste, we all dipped chips into a chipotle berry fruit salsa. Water added stewed fruits in syrup, ripe plums, raisins and yeasted dough soaked in liqueur on the nose. On the palate we enjoyed a brandied blackberry fool combining the slightly tart with the sweetness of whipped cream. Following eight years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill oloroso hogshead.
