Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Bourbon/ Oloroso, finished in Port
Tasted: May 2012
A wonderfully deep, juicy and earthy nose leading off with some ripe, red berry fruit along with hints of gooseberry , peppery spice and fern. There is a touch of nutty, marzipan coated apricot and lush sherry beneath. A very complex and ever changing nose! Now there’s a touch of stewed fruit, sweet barley, bracken and some late American oak vanilla. A lovely combination of aromas from the three casks, all in perfect symmetry.
The palate is lushous and juicy with some earthy barley leading off. There is no shortage of American oak and it does start to bitter a touch but the juicy sherry laced fruit sees that off. The port adds some delightful red fruit at the edge. A touch of natural caramel/ toffee does dampens the finish, but those spices are absolutely gorgeous and linger, taking ones mind off the dampening toffee.
