Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Refil Bourbon Hogshead DL7045
Dist: Feb 1990 Btl: Mar 2011
Tasted: Apr 2011
A lovely fleshy nose of citrus fruit and sweet white liqcourice with hints of pear drops, plum, lavender and peppery spice. Really complex with the citrus giving the aromas a lovely fresh edge. With time the vanilla oak appears as does a touch of gristy cereal.
Soft vanilla oak encloses some deep citrus, apricot, pear and white peach fruit. There is a lovely sugar duted quality to the fruit along with some slightly gristy barley and sawdust notes. Piquant alcohol leads into a very peppery, white liquorice middle. Stunning depth with a delightfully leafy/ menthol finish, which reminds me of the classic cat pee Sauvignon blanc characteristics. Exquisitely balanced.
