Tasting Notes
Settle back, relax and you will be rewarded. Plenty of initial fruity aromas, including caramelised pears, charred pineapple and mango, were followed by the scent of sweet blue cheese: Italian gorgonzola dolce or German cambozola came to mind. Still evolving in the glass, we got a watercress salad dressed with smoked olive oil. On the palate came plenty of soot and coal dust, and ash-coated soft goat's cheese next to sweet and sour plum sauce – “extraordinaire”! Be very careful adding water. A vibrant and zesty essence of pink grapefruit developed on the nose while to taste we found tabasco pepper sauce, blueberry pancakes and orange pomander. Following 24 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill STR oloroso-seasoned first fill barrique.
