Tasting Notes:
This single wooden pot still (REV marque) has a dark copper colour. Nose: It's like very, very high-quality oolong tea, and that's it. I'm not kidding. Okay, there are a few tiny hints of liquorice, fresh paint, soy sauce, and walnut stain in the background. Mouth: but how delicious it is! Here we are on anchovies marinated in liquorice and wood varnish, or thereabouts. And then there's mint, myrtle, eucalyptus, a touch of ammonia, oysters... The freshness is exceptional, despite it being 29 years old. And that medicinal aspect, what a wonder, I'm sure it cures everything. Finish: long, very mentholated, with a return of the oolong tea and damp black earth. More pepper at the very end. Comments: tremendous but we need to wake up. Once it's gone, it's gone.
Note: SGP: 563 - 92 points.
