Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Tasted: Oct 2008
Good grief where do you start, the aromas buzz around like an agitated bag of bees! There’s intense crisp rye grains fighting with vanilla oak, manure, salty-chestnut, Cuban coffee crystallised fruits and a beguiling violety note. The palate is no less intense. As Jim Murray says, this is faultless and mesmeric. The crisp rye grains hit the tongue first followed by a gloriously soft toffee-vanilla fudge flavour. Then it opens into a grassy, floral, violety phase, lazily followed by a bittersweet, earthy, spicy, gingery symphony. As it winds its way leisurely to its conclusion some waxy, vegetal spice and sandalwood notes become apparent. Wow this is a serious journey! (Tasting Note from the 2007 Bottling)
