Batch AB3099 Sauternes Finish - Casks 7,8,9,10 Nose - Ripe dark sweet baked apples, dark golden honey, golden raisins, sweet chestnuts, lightly tannic green grape skins Taste - Initial fruity apple stems/metallic bitterness, golden raisins, light honey, thin apple juice, baked apples, more metallic bitterness Finish - Lingering metallic/fruity bitterness, hints of honey and golden raisins Score - 67/100 Final Thoughts - So the nose on this one is quite pleasant, loads of baked apples with golden raisins and honey and really leads you to believe you're getting this amazingly fruity dram. The instant it hits your tongue, you're hit with this oddly bitter apple fruit stem vibe that's been sitting in a metallic container in the sun for a few days. There are hints of baked apples and honey that you get from the nose, but it's really quite dominated by the metallic and fruity bitter notes that's really quite distracting. The finish is more of the same bitterness and sadly doesn't get much better.
