Notes
Cask No. 137.12
Phenolic anticipation
England
The sweet peat scent of smoked Bourbon vanilla beans combined with gentle wood smoke and the best potting soil for garden plants made this a heart-warming experience. On the palate your heartbeat will go up a couple of notches as it was absolutely massive – huge waves of smoke followed by juicy tropical fruits and a salty, slightly dry, finish! Where did that come from? Recovered, we added water and found ourselves on the coast with smoked haddock, sweet langoustines and a Japanese seaweed salad. Now a lot more rounded and manageable to taste as the smoke was still big but more balanced with the fruitiness and the sweetness - think of muesli with heavily peated cereal.
