Tasting Notes
The aroma reminded us of a Vermouth from Jerez based on a blend of Amontillado and PX Sherry and of course with the addition of herbs, fruits and of course, wormwood. Velvety soft and sweet on the palate but with a distinctive note of aniseed and gentian as well as a spicy tobacco finish. After reduction, a deeper fruitiness on the nose with blueberry tartlets, fig rolls and a slice of moist fruitcake while to taste Mexican spicy fruit roll ups, fruit flavoured candy made with spices and chamoy sauce. Following 11 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a second fill charred red wine barrique.
