Bourbon
Dist: 2001 Btl: 2013
Tasted: Dec 2013
A full and robust nose with plenty of sweet barley along with the classic notes of rock pools, iodine, brine, sweet peat, sweet parma violets and light tar. Beautifully deep with just a touch of creamy oak.
The palate displays all the intensity you would expect to find in a cask strength ‘vulin. Soft and briny, opening with the gently sweet barley, followed by iodine, salt and lightly herbal, medicinal peat. Breath takingly intense middle as the spirit develops. Very long with some light smoke entwined in the sweet barley and the peat fades into a lovely , earthy, tarry, dusty, violet finish.
With water the nose is crisper and cleaner with some hints of apricot and banana. Only lightly oiled with the emphasis shifted to the creamy barley, salt and oak. The palate has become softer and smokier and a little oiler and the peat dustier and more charcoal like in character. Extremely salty now. Broad, harmonious and stunning! A great spirit!
