Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • Aroma

      Sweet woody and nutty notes, like sweet chestnut or cedar, mingle with hints of toffee, fudge, almond marzipan and cherries.

    • Taste

      The flavour of baked fruits (apples, plums cherries and apricots) lead into a solid oaky ‘backbone’, with flavours of clove, cinnamon, lots of aniseed, cardamom, cumin, toasted oak and eucalyptus.

    • Finish

      Once these powerful, primary flavours die down, soft creamy fudge/vanilla, is encountered along with tangy, caramelised citrus fruits, a hint of cassis, and some milk chocolate and café au lait on the aftertaste.

  • Tasting Notes by Stuart P

    • Nose

      An awful lot going on here: resin, leather, cherries, dark-berry fruit and apple strudel, plus oaky notes reminiscent of old Cognac.

    • Palate

      Very spicy, with toasty oak and white pepper, then a waft of berry fruit drifts in.

    • Finish

      Very long. Spicy, toasty oak dominates, plus notes of pepper and brioche.

    Thomas,

    Whilst there is no arguing its a good whiskey offering a complex bouquet of what I call Christmas fruits and spices with perfect balance, it ins''t a world away in terms of flavour from many bottles which are 5% the price of this. For example Black Arts 4.1 imo offers as much complexity and pleasure. If were talking investment by all means it should appreciate, but I am a whiskey drinker and an amteur rather than collector. So this is just my two cents.
