Lost Distillery Jericho

Dalmore

I really like the concept of the Lost Destillery products, even if I doubt it "scientifically". The smell is strong in surprising "sour mash bourbon style" way, sweet, sour, I smell ripe pears if I let it sit a bit. The taste is very nice, sweetish with little woody hints, bit cardamom spice but otherwise fruity, almost floral. There is nice burn at the end and also something like raisins in rum aftertaste. Very pleasant. As again with Distiller, there is bit confusion with ABV - they claim 41%, the picture of limited bottle is 45% and the regular bottle, which I have, is 43%.

Nose: strong plum nose, immediately. Christmas spices. Very sweet. Palate: first friendly, fruity sweetness. Then spice kicks in and takes over the lead. Aftertaste: slight oaky bitterness, sweet spices. Almost pungent for me. At the end only dry bitterness remain for longer.

Good everyday whisky. The concept of this distillery is very interesting. Recreating whisky with archives from the past of old lost distilleries.
