Notes

About Just like new shoes: Founded in 2013, this is Israel’s first whisky distillery who hit the ground running by employing Dr. Jim Swan to be their first consultant and master distiller. The good doctor was a master of the tropical maturation process, coaxing unbelievable aromas, flavor and color out of whiskies in a very short amount of time. Distilleries in tropical regions around the world called on him to help with making the best whisky possible and 155’s Mediterranean climate made it a perfect candidate for his expertise. Today’s release offers three years of tropical maturation in a 1st fill Pedro Ximenez cask….. Buckle up!

Tasting Panel Note: A sticky pulp of cranberries, plums and oranges was boiled with strawberries in a clay pot to create a rich jam seasoned with thyme, bergamot and a few flaked almonds. Complex earthy notes ventured on to the palate too, but now with a delightful peach pastry drizzled with honey and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg and mace. Water took complexity to a new level. Boot polish on new leather shoes found its place beside tobacco, wood oil and a generous glass of cider brandy. Heavy oak provided a strong framework within which we discovered rum and raisin fudge, fruit jelly sweets and madeira cake adorned with glacé cherries.
