Tasting Notes
This had a wonderfully deep and inviting nose – full of pickled walnuts, dates, madeira cake, aged balsamic and plum wine, with tangs of sweet liquorice, tomato vines and toffee pudding. Water brought out more exotic and varied elements such as rice wine, flower honey, plum jam and green walnut liqueur laced with cocktail bitters. The neat palate was big, no-nonsense and textural, with immediate flavours of waxes, leathery notes, mineral-flecked sherry characteristics and lovely, damp, dunnagey earthy qualities. Some medicinal undercurrents were noted too. Reduction evolved all this wonderful earthiness and brought out warming peppery notes, balancing bitterness and additional spices such as crystallised ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. A feeling of mulled tonic wine was noted as we appreciated the finish. All in all, it was a gorgeous cracker of a dram! This was matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead for five years before being transferred to a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.
