Nose
not alcoholic at all. First of all, we have a distinct note of grated coconut. It happily recalls Christmas baskets of dried fruit, but also Moroccan pastries, rich in honey. Very ripe orange, dehydrated apricots and milk chocolate, pecan nuts. The sweetness is impressive and reminiscent of bourbon, but we still have the complexity of a Scotch. Of course Clynelish's soul is transfigured here, with little or no minerality, but this new creature is not bad. Nutmeg.
Palate
let's start with a devastating coconut, both dry and baked, and ripe orange. Moreover, always perfectly consistent with the nose, the pecan nuts and the dried and jammed apricots come back. The fortified sweetness of Tokaji is total. But then it comes what you do not expect: from all this concert of delicacies emerges a peaty note, stubbornly mineral, which we recognize as a strenuous testimony of the soul of the distillate.
Finish
ripe orange and apricot, strawberry jam. A sweetness still 'bourbony' but again blunted by a peaty suggestion. Rather unique.
