Curious series, pretty much everything about it is secret. No Scotch apparently, German whisky? Secreter than all the secrets I've ever drunk secretly. Gone are the days of drinking a Glenfiddich and knowing exactly why it's bad (or good, just a matter of taste btw no other reason).
Nose: Ahoy sherbet, cola - Pepsi or Aldi Cola, shaken vigorously. Cocoa powder, milk chocolate, warm milk or all together hot chocolate with lots of cream. Freshly baked brownies, sticky toffee. Some sultana rummy. Manuka honey.Mouth: soy sauce, teriyaki, balsamic, tobacco, leather - old if you try to grit your teeth on it. Honey becomes heather honey with cherry puree, some plums - dried. Sweet black tea with a hint of peat. Is this SULPHUR at the end?
Finish: Indeed sulphurous, but not disturbing, just shocking. Herbal, coriander, brandy and coffee. Muscovado clogs the palate. Tasty, no recognisable distillery signature a la Couvreur. Has its fans either way. For connoisseurs and professionals, this is certainly also exciting and challenging. I see myself as an interested researcher and try to explore the character of the distillery, how which spirit interacts with which casks, over what period of time and in what environment. This secrecy sucks.
