Pulled this sample from the stockpile that came my way through the SDT sampling group from @Generously_Paul It’s not often that one has the privilege of tasting history from extinct distilleries. There is a pleasant honey sweetness that comes across with an earthy dampness like that of a wet hay in a northeastern barn on a rainy September afternoon. There are other supporting aromas of lemon zest, unbaked, yeasty sourdough bread and tropical fruits. Toasted coconut, dried pineapple and apricots. A small amount of vanilla, hazelnut and oak sawdust emerge after a fair length of time. Sweet and spice in a delicate balance within a thin, soft, slick body. Cream soda, honey, with butterscotch and those tropical flavors which were found on the nose: toasted coconut, dried pineapple and apricots. The spices of ginger root and white pepper softly interplay with the sweetness. They never dominate or crescendo. As with the sweetness, the spice is level even. As it works towards the finish, it becomes slightly metallic with a touch of nuttiness. A short finish of honey, tea, oak and vanilla with an earthy quality. A nice, complex nose with a soft palate. This is an extremely easy sipper. It has a lightness and sweetness of a Japanese whiskey, like a Hibiki. If you could find a summer sipper, this would definitely be on the list. Thanks again @Generously_Paul sharing this piece of history. [87/100][Tasted: 11/23/19]
