Original Tasting Notes
Nose: Charred
oak timbers, sawdust and voluptuous fruit backed by subtle milk
chocolate and vanilla. Grainy new make, developing burnt caramel, subtle
spent match and a slight sapid, earthy dampness. A trace of ripe red
apple and plum and smoked fish dressed in appley olive oil.
Palate: Hot
and sweet. Searing, woody dryness, then calmer with mentholic chocolate
notes and comforting honey underscored by a subtle chilli-like heat. A
faint sawdust note gives way to charred astringency, acquiring notes of
gritty cocoa against an espresso background.
Finish: Quietly
persistent with tart red-berry notes, cedar and a spicy, smoky ginger
warmth. Leaves the palate minty, with a fruity coffee note and a
sprinkling of salt.
