Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
The first note I get is dark chocolate—the aggressive, 85% cocoa kind—then tobacco and leather. Vanilla bean, marzipan, and toasted filberts follow, and a not unsurprising whiff of pear. There’s a lot going on here.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
This whiskey was a little bit of a letdown for me. The nose is deliciously complex and intriguing: I really like the contrast between the dark chocolate/tobacco and sweeter fruit and marzipan. Up through the mid-palate, there’s enough nuance to balance out the strong tannic and roasty notes, but the finish is disappointingly bitter and one-note.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
