Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose opens with a lightly green note of fresh grass, red raspberry leaf, and sea salt. Its aggressive and richly scented with an undertone of sawdust, charcoal, and clean cardboard. As the whiskey opens, it offers up rich notes of fruit, nuts, and chocolate. There are notes of black figs, toasted brown bread, freshly minced basil, caramel sauce, Nutella, and chocolate cookie wafers. I was impressed at how the aromatics changed.
Palate
This is silky and limp on the palate with a touch of drying tannins. At first, the green note from the nose offers up aromas of papaya, tarragon, and fresh pine cones. This gives way to a note of dark chocolate sauce, cinnamon gum, and toasted brown bread. Its richly flavored, though it takes a while to open up in the glass. The finish is decadent and clinging, showing notes of melted dark chocolate, autumn leaves, and chocolate covered malt balls.
