Found at a store that don’t know what they are selling since it was not entered into their computer. Ended up selling it at normal PC10 price. What a steal, their lost my gain.
Neat in glencairn
Color: deep brownish copper
Nose: brine, seaweed, salty, nuts, smoke, peat, faint red wine smell, strong alcohol smell gives it quite a rubbery scent. It definitely smells young.
Palate: oily, great viscosity, arrives light and sweet on the tongue, then exploded into berries, red grapes, smoke, ash, roasted peanut and almond. Complimented at the back with spicy pepper, oak, and hint of bitterness.
Finish: very long and warm. Traces of smoke, bacon and nuts. The pepper spices linger.
Added drops of water
More sweet fruitiness, tamed not as hot, dry, the red wine influence shows.
Great stuff, there’s a lot going on that gives you a unique experience.
This is it if you want an adventure!
4.25 for the spirit
4.5 for the steal of price
