Very Satisfying

SPIRIT NOTES

A complex set of aromas. On the one hand, we found plenty of antique furniture, waxed jackets, moss and wet bark. On the other, a delicate light and floral perfumed scent from a cashmere ruana. The taste was as complex, with mulled cider, cinnamon-baked apples, roasted macadamia nuts and blackcurrant fudge. Water turned the nose very chic, elegant, sweet and floral, evoking a suit pocket square. On the palate now, we sipped a cocktail called Bonnie Prince Charlie: St-Germain, orange bitters and sparkling wine mixed with a whisky, heather honey, herb and spice liqueur, and garnished with a lemon twist. Following 13 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill heavy toast medium char hogshead.
