Tasting Notes
We sat on a hardwood table laden with plenty of goodies – rum and raisin truffles, lava cake, crème brûlée and molasses cookies. On the neat palate were strawberries soaked in madeira, cherry liqueur chocolates and dark chocolate coconut tart, all with a hugo spritz cocktail of elderflower syrup, prosecco, mint and sparkling water. Talking of water, we now strolled through a fruit market in the Austrian Alps before we headed into a gasthaus and ordered a kaiserschmarrn; a dish favoured by the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I of a lightly fluffy shredded pancake, raisins and cranberries served with an apple sauce. Following eight years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a second fill shave toast re-char barrique.
