Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com | Colour: dark gold. Nose: sherry works on these spirits, and do add what some call dimension. In this case it’s chocolate and roasted chestnuts and hazelnuts, as well as a feeling of café latte not-from-Starbucks. There’s also some cured ham, as often, plus something pretty unusual in sherried un-peaters: smoked fish. Plus the usual Seville oranges and all the cocoa, as well as whiffs of nail polish remover but that’s probably the very high strength. With water: touches of gunpowder and struck matches, not a problem at all. Mouth (neat): did the sherry offset the Irishness? Not quite, this remained fruity and fresh, and even a wee tad girly, in a good way. More Haribo stuff, and marshmallows, with more blackberry and cassis-flavoured ones than usual, and then some sweet and spicy wood, around cinnamon and cedar wood. With water: works. Oranges, a little rosemary and other Provence herbs, and a little juniper and caraway. Finish: quite long, excellent, the sherry really added something…. Comments: even if it may have made this baby lose a bit of freshness. SGP:651 – 87 points. |
