Cask No. 46.121 Bourbon liquorice stick and orange cocktail

liquorice stick and orange cocktail bitters on lime jelly

The nose neat had the sweet dimension of lemon bonbons

With water there were more earthy notes of hay and sautéed mushrooms joining waxy fruit that had become much more tropical with hints of honey and pear jam

‘Jet-Black’ was the first comment with aromas of bittersweet chocolate ganache

Cask No. 46.121 Bourbon liquorice stick and orange cocktailA rather snazzy nose at first, full of spiced vanilla cake, white miso, green pepper, limoncello mixed with tonic water and a light, easy earthiness. Some grassy olive oil and fruit salad chewy sweets as well. With water we noted lime curd, elderflower cordial, mossy tree bark and cinnamon pastries. The neat palate was very easy going and yet possessed a nicely assertive nibble of white pepper and caraway. Some pineapple juice in the background too.
