8 Years Tropical Aging

Serge Valentin (83)

8 years of tropical ageing. It's quite recent, this trend of specifying the percentages of ageing time in tropical climates, truly a movement inspired by Velier and its captain Luca, I believe. And Bowmore before that; we remember the old releases that highlighted ageing on Islay. Okay, here we are in Belize... Colour: dark gold. Nose: to be honest, there are some similarities in terms of vanilla, but the resemblances stop there. It's much more aromatic, with a hint of honey-flavoured rooibos, very light metallic touches, orange cake, pistachio financier, cane honey, and coconut... With water: a touch of varnish and greater softness. It feels like being in Cuba. Mouth (neat): a bite linked to the alcohol, sugar cane, a very young eau-de-vie character... One must admit the ethanol dominates once again. Water will help us here. With water: we remain very close to the cane, vanilla, and coconut. Finish: medium length and texture, with plenty of cane syrup. Comments: perhaps a cocktail juice, and in that case, it would make an excellent cocktail. I quite like it, actually.
