70
- Nose
- Warm cowhide and chamois leather, cow gum. Ginger biscuit dunked in coffee. Dried cinnamon stick and baharat spice - a blend of clove, nutmeg, paprika and cardamom.
- Palate
- A bitterness of quinine and green tea. Damp tobacco and then cheroots. Water made the green tea too bitter for me - like fresh pine sap.
- Finish
- The bitterness overtakes, then becomes buttery.
- Comment
- I could see this in a cocktail to counter the sharpness with some sweetness.
87
- Nose
- A very chlorinated nose of burnt, rye-like spices, warm milk chocolate and bitter dark chocolate. The oak is pretty chunky and almost monolithic in character.
- Palate
- Milk and dark chocolate along with treacle and succulent if a little dry oak. The rye-like spices are initially buried but come through on the middle brining an intensity of herbal, green wood and spice notes.
- Finish
- Long and supple with the toasted oak vanillins lingering along with the green spices. Lovely intensity and again fairly drying.
- Comment
- A take no prisoners Bourbon with a fairly high rye content.
