A typically big, bold and yet rather dry and austere profile initially. We got chalky qualities such as clay and white pebbles, along with canvass, digestive biscuits, turmeric and dried flowers. Some water brought deeper notes of cooking oils, camphor, new leather and a wee touch of creme caramel. The mouth initially displayed a robust oiliness of texture, along with medicines and dry waxes. Reduction enhanced these waxy tones and added tart citrus jellies, sooty notes, herbal toothpaste and warm peppery heat.

Where should we start; peat, soot and tar or a smoked herbal Martini cocktail or smoked blood orange, or treacle tart – certainly on the ‘dark side of the moon’ maybe even dragon blood incense! The taste was that of well charred bacon or in the deep American south, a New Orleans creole gumbo with a dark smoky cajun roux used as a thickening agent. After we added water we slow-cooked braised ox cheeks in red wine and while we waited, had a pulled beef brisket with a smoky spicy barbeque sauce. After 21 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill STR oloroso seasoned barrique.
