Tasting Notes
The Panel were greeted by a bizarre bouquet evoking kangaroo meat and Peking duck, served on a sea-salt croissant. We then found ourselves in a gentleman's club, not of leather armchairs, but of crocodile boots and horse stirrups. The air hummed with Cuban cigars and the sweet aroma of cinder toffee. The first sip was like chewing on an oloroso bung before a blast of gingerbread and a drying, tannic finish reminding Panellists of a eucalyptus forest. A splash of water tamed the beast, revealing a gentler side of cinnamon swirls, spun sugar and a surprisingly sophisticated Manhattan cocktail. We closed with creamy Russian caramel, and a menthol and camphor balm mouth tingle. After nine years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first fill American oak oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
