Tastingnotes by Serge Valentin
Colour: Amber.
Nose:
Truly powerful, starting on an immense, but truly enjoyable woodiness. Big varnishy notes, almonds and marzipan, green tea and hints of horseradish (or wasabi – Japanese indeed). Then
it's the wilderness that speaks out, with notes of humus, moss, pine needles, roots, wet dead leaves... And finally a big mint and a big eucalyptus. Oh, and our beloved dried mushrooms. It's not
really subtle whisky but the boldness and compactness are very, very enjoyable. With water: now it's fully on
dried mushrooms (boletus and those huge black Chinese ones) and Havana tobacco. Hyper-concentrated.
Mouth (neat):
Huge, fat, punchy, heavily concentrated. 'Good' oak infusion, walnut skin, curry, mustard and bread crust. Goes on with cough syrup and green bananas. It's amazing that all this oakiness
remains good – I mean, excellent.
With water: it's the spices that really go out now. Pepper first, then cloves and cinnamon, then nutmeg... How big this is!
Finish:
Very long – more of the same. One of the most muscular whiskies I had these months, no doubt.
