Tasting Notes:
“Colour: deep gold. Nose: highly aromatic, with notes of Swiss cheese, alpine flowers, varnish and hairspray, then toasted sesame oil. Altogether, it works a treat. With water: still very much ‘column’, but rather lovely, gentle without being weak, now leaning more towards vanilla and the coconutty side of the wood. Mouth (neat): glue and varnish, classic column still, then bananas in all guises, from liqueurs to marshmallows, with a dash of corn syrup thrown in. With water: the varnishy side turns saltier, which is quite the little miracle, even if the texture remains fairly light. Finish: not overly long, but more herbal and leaning towards… apples. Comments: it’s the wood that seems to be bringing the texture, one might even mistake it for pure column. In any case, it’s very good.”
SGP:651 - 87 points.
