Nose: Molasses, fig vinegar, something you should drizzle as a glaze on meat.
Palate: Fennel, cedar, quite methylated / herbal.
Rating: 4 (Shane) 6 (Ryan) / 10 – I see why Ryan likes this. It’s elegant, nuanced. It was just a bit too ricola for me.
Nose: My hand shook and my eyes watered the first sniff. Put it down and came back 20 minutes later. Still intense. Profoundly intense. Peach kombucha and ripe peach skins. Good n plenty after leaving them in the sun and it melts into a brick. Anti-freeze. Acetone / nail polish on the back end (Ryan).
Palate: Peach turned to 11. White tea. Roasted peanuts. And I stand by kombucha. Muted, no bass cocoa nibs and chocolate covered espresso beans.The subtle sweetness you sometimes get when licking an envelope shut. Grape flesh.
Rating: 6 (Ryan) 5 (Shane) / 10 – This is all treble, no base. The flavors are good but something missing.
Nose: Reminds me a lot of the 1997 cask #27, but a little less intense and maybe more notes of honey. A balance that other cask truly needed. This is promising. Cedar. Raspberry jam tartlets. Fennel, more earthy on the nose. Toasted fennel seeds.
Palate: A very pleasant spice. Cedar. A lovely balance of wood, spice, and herbal.
Rating: 7 / 10 – yum yum. Was delicious when I visited and its still freaking awesome.
