The nose evokes barbecue ash, oily peat and exotic fruits (unripe mango) behind a deep veil of smote on a sea background. The pleasure of the nose remains for many minutes, bringing each time a renewed nice experience.
In the palate, a real tastes festival from exotic unripe and spiced fruit to a light bitter woody feeling through all the sea nuances: seaweed, see spray, salt.
The finish is deliciously long and pleasant, first marked by a mix of bitterness and acidity before developing on fruit to end on a light veil of smoke.
The very beautiful nose is clearly dominated by smoke. Strong spicy hints appear too (pepper). Very complex and the iodine and sea notes are not missing. Nice intense woody flavours, wet wood with this typical mouldy smell.
In the palate, just the same complexity. Nice balance between clearly marked and spicy wood and oily peat. A real delight continuously developing between both impressions.
The finish is particularly lingering and warm, with still the same woody and peaty characteristics which are intimately mixed together.
Excellent version
The nose is quite aggressive at first, pungent and strong. But soon the impression becomes more pleasant and complex fruity aromas appear, although the impressions of alcohol pharmacy have not completely disappeared.
In the mouth, a mixture of freshness (impression of cut grass) and acidity which, coupled with a high rate of alcohol invite to add water to fully understand this rebellious mouth at first. A few drops are enough to tame this fiery whiskey. The burning impression disappears, and the fruit and the acid continue to characterize the taste. Not very complex, but nice.
The finish is long and fresh, perfectly perpetuating the impression in the mouth.
Very amazing tasting notes. This bottle would have suffered from oxidation, since it has been open for quite a long time? In any case a new tasting is required.
The nose is very clear, with nice spicy notes first, wax hints and some citrus fragrances. A touch of smoke. Nice complexity announcing a real festival in the palate.
The palate is amazingly round and balanced, mixing slightly acid tastes to fine woody hints, going through a vast palette of varied tastes.
The finish is pleasantly long, delightfully smooth while keeping the warmth of the alcohol and the memory of a malty sweetness mixed with a hint of oily peat dominates at the end.
