Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Batch 09-123
A big corn coated nose with no shortage of sweet oak and coffee syrup. Beneath the rye gently nips. Very polished with a sweet violet note and a touch of earthiness.
The palate leads in with the subtle sweet corn and oak, shot through with hints of light molasses and treacle. Soft, yet edgy rye grains and spices just about balance it out before the oak rumbles on with a pure marzipan middle. The alcohol slightly masks but coffee, liquorice and tobacco notes come through on the finish. Like the nose it is extremely polished.
With water the nose becomes oilier and lighter, releasing some juicy chocolate orange and more wood spice – cinnamon stick, bark and sweet ginger.
Like the nose the palate becomes oilier, lighter (although still quite full) and spicier, it also releases a violet note. It seems a lot more polished and a touch younger than I remember, but still very good!
