Notes
About Decadence is underrated: The name says it all! Darkness falls – dark chocolate, dark bread, dark fruit and dark beer notes make for an enchanting twilight taste adventure. This typically floral malt gets a massive makeover in heavily charred additional maturation.
Tasting Panel Note: A rich aroma coming from bread and butter pudding, crème brûlée, cinder toffee and chocolate-covered brazil nuts filled the room. On the palate we had stout made using an ancient brewing ingredient, spruce tips, giving flavours of toasted marshmallows and candied nuts, with a finish of chocolate-coated blackberries. After reduction, everything turned dark – blackcurrant jam, blackberry crumble with custard, pumpernickel bread and a porter-style beer. To taste, we tucked into a decadent dark chocolate cheesecake with fresh raspberries, washed down with a glass of dark coffee liqueur. Following 14 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a #4 heavy char first fill hogshead.
