Tasting Notes
We were met by a super fresh, fragrant scent of cut grass, vanilla and orange blossom perfume, honeydew melon, pure squeezed pineapple juice and coconut water. Sweet and creamy on the palate, we tucked into white chocolate, lime butterscotch, peach-flavoured fruit tea and almond cream-filled croissants, with a crisp green apple in the finish. After reduction the freshness had a steely edge of slightly unripe stone fruits that was soon superseded by pine resin, toasted coconut and Madagascan bourbon vanilla pods. To taste, we were reminded of a sauternes wine typically characterised by the balance of sweetness with the zest of acidity. Following 13 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill PX ex-bodega barrique.
