Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: fruity, earthy, and nutty; fresh-picked raspberries, strawberries and blackberries; Marocan marmalade, canteloupe, and guava; polished oak church pews with plush leather knee cushions; cinnamon sticks, ginger root, and licorice sticks; no heat or rough edges.
Palate: gorgeous delivery; fruity, spicy, and toasty; the woody spices and fruits are battling it out for supremacy while the leather, chocolateand tobacco watch from the sidelines; fennel seed, nutmeg, and clove add to the ginger, cinnamon, and licorice found on the nose; more freshly picked berry fruits, but also a dollop of jam too; marmalade and chocolate orange; more soft leather and polished out with some firm Dominican cigar tobacco.
Finish: spicy, fruity, and toasty with a warming coating mouthfeel; more berry fruits, wood spices, and big sherry tones.
Comment: it feels tightly wound, and ready to explode at any moment, which is saying something as it is already rather complex; but no time for that today; it is every bit as good as the sample we tried, and then some; I'd love to see how this stacks up to a twentysomething Speymalt Macallan... blind tasting coming?
Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: A wonderful marriage of tropical fruit from the whisky and sherry notes from the cask the whisky was aged in. Grilled pineapple, fresh, juicy mango, dates, ripe pears, and Werther's Original Caramel Hard Candies - creaminess and all.
Palate: Bold up front with spicy and sweet notes fighting for attention on the tongue before they settle down, shake hands, and become fast friends. Both notes stick around, offering candied ginger and orange peel notes along with more mango and pineapple, candied apple, plus a hint of clove, peppercorns, peppermint candy cane and a dash of nutmeg.
Finish: Warm and rich with ginger, tropical fruit, and Lemon Zinger tea lingering on the palate.
Comments: It took us a while to get our first cask selection from Kavalan, but this pick makes up for the wait!
