Tasting Notes
We prepared a citrus moscatel sangria with grapefruit, oranges and kumquats all cut into slices, honey, lemon juice, Grand Marnier and a bottle of Moscatel de Valencia wine. More fruit on the palate with mango, guava and banana and a coffee liqueur with vanilla and cinnamon cream. After the addition of water, we moved seamlessly on with our fruit theme as we made a Kir Royale salad using watermelon, red plums, strawberries, red grapes, plenty of sparkling wine and a dash of crème de cassis. To taste now coconut ice cream, banana and custard doughnuts as well as banoffee macaroons and chocolate hazelnut crunch truffles.
This whisky is another great example of this distillery absolutely wowing me with their complex whiskies despite being so young. The fruitiness and sweetness in this case is overwhelming and takes me to a fruit bar in Venice on a warm summer day, with all kinds of refreshing exotic but also local fruits. An incredibly beautiful dram.
