Nose: super ripe peaches right off the tree, cantaloupe and prosciutto, orange peel, cotton candy, stewed apricots, black tea
Palate: vanilla wafers, peach black tea ice tea concentrate, parma violets… this reminds me of the time at Que Leche julie and I had dessert and they served us foie gras on apricot cotton candy. Weird as fuck… we tocked in and the intense sweetness, savorynesses and richness made for a bite that I still remember years later. For its novelty more than its deliciousness. BUT after resting it 30 minutes, it really evolves and the stonefruit vanquishes.
Rating: 7 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – I’m so rarely this far apart – with a 9 on the nose and a 5 on the palate. Its like drinking perfume. Its so intense and concentrated. And water didn’t help. Ok, an adjustment… let it rest 30 minutes. What is insane is that we came back to this after a phenomenal 60.3% oloroso Glendronach, and this pour not only holds its own but goes toe to toe. This is quite special. #respect.
