| Review #224 |
This has
been matured in a 50-liter bourbon cask from 23/05-2012 to 24/11-2015. The ABV
had actually increased during the maturation, so it was watered down to 61 from
67 %. The smell is very sweet. Marzipan overpowers everything else in the
beginning. After some minutes, it starts to open up for other notes.
Considering that it is only 3,5 years old, the malt influence is very discreet.
The smell is quite young though and rough spirit notes is dominant in the end.
This is
fun. A lot of things is going on here. First tobacco, leather and hints of
anise or licorice in the taste. Afterwards, in the finish, some oak influence
appears with some vanilla and marzipan sweetness in the end. Very rough with
the heavy flavors and the high ABV.
It starts incredible sweet and you think this
will like a dessert wine, but then you taste it, and all of these rough tobacco
and leather notes appear. It is rough, a man’s dram or a farmers dram I would
call it. I will give this 81/100 (19/20/20/22).
