Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Batch No. 003
A brilliant, understated nose with a lovely combination of soft floral citrus fruit and sherry wood (dates, walnuts, fruit cake and ginger). Superb complexity with hints of red fruits, liquorice, light honey, tobacco leaf, chocolate malt, Demerara sugar and a late candied orange/ peach note. Superb balance and considerably better than the old double wood.
The palate opens with sweet, sherry laced dried fruit, citrus peel, sugar coated rose petals, walnuts, honey and Demerara sugar. Good grip on the middle as the creamy oak drifts in along with a restrained piquancy from the alcohol. Quite delicate, yet the soft wood tannins and alcohol combine to dry out the finish somewhat. Lovely aftertaste with the dried fruit, liquorice, ginger spices and rose petal perfume lingering. (Tasting note of Batch No 001)
