¾ bourbon and ¼ oloroso, these proportions seem sensible to me. And we're behind schedule again. Colour: gold. Nose: fresh butter, banana, this morning's baguette, a tiny bit of wood glue, nutmeg, putty, then orange zest. Everything is very fine at this stage. Mouth: very good, sweet and salty, slightly acidic (white wine from cold and damp regions), with lemon zest and notes of thyme tea. Then a little bit of olive fougasse. Do you know olive fougasse? If not, your life is incomplete (that's right, S.) Finish: rather long, with a more pronounced woodiness. It's always the slightly more complicated part for the very young whiskies which have necessarily used relatively active casks. Comments: very good, this Dingle from... wait, four years ago already? Okay, three years
