Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The whisky presents a rich, burnished gold color in the glass, offering a glimpse into its concentrated flavors and intricate blending process.
Nose (Aroma):
The nose is instantly arresting, weaving a complex tale of spiced oak, caramelized fruit, and a touch of leather. A backdrop of floral notes and oriental spices adds a layer of ethereal complexity.
Palate (Taste):
The entry is bold, aided by the elevated ABV, yet it remains impeccably balanced. Initial flavors of dark chocolate and dried fruit pave the way for an evolving profile of cinnamon, clove, and a dash of white pepper. Intermittent bursts of tropical fruit and vanilla provide a contrasting sweetness, adding layers to an already multifaceted experience.
Finish:
A long, warming finish leaves a lasting impression, replete with a final flourish of spice and a lingering smokiness that subtly pays homage to its partial Scotch heritage.
Mouthfeel:
The texture is robust, coating the palate in a silky embrace. The high ABV enhances the flavor delivery, without overwhelming the senses, resulting in a whisky that is both powerful and refined.
