Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Tasted: July 2011
An aromatic, expansive nose of sweet corn. Wonderfully fat but balanced by a grainy nip and a touch of zesty citrus that is just so precise. There is a lovely depth of vanilla oak and one could easily mistake this as a product of Kentucky with a slight earthy note. Wonderfully rounded and showing some maturity but I’m sure that this spirit could comfortably age for another 18 years.
The palate is wonderfully soft and oily with the sweet corn showing first followed by the creamy, lightly toffee’d oak. Lovely and clean with like the nose a balancing citrus and grainy nip. Superb sweet/ bitter balance, finishing crisply dry with some rum-like dried fruit putting in an appearance. The oak is impeccably behaved and accompanies the spirit right the way through adding a smidge of violet and soft spices. Yet another stunning bottling!
