Nosing:
Complex, and aromatic. An unusual Caipirinha note before water. Creamy/buttery with oloroso sherry. Cherry throat lozenges, walnuts. Water brings out the nuts and rounds off the medicinal part of the cherry.
Taste:
Savoury sherry arrival, sour/bitter orange peel, maltiness and ground sweet spices. Water brings out the cherry throat sweets again as well as a bit of black tea.
Finish:
Medium length sherry oak and general nuttiness.
Comment:
This is one super complex malt, I've had it before but didn't appreciate it nearly as much as I do now. Water affects it a lot, but it can take a fair drop and its worth experimenting. That weird Caipirinha/cachaca thing on the nose was unexpected and very unique. The palate as well has excellent complexity. The finish is fitting and solid, if unspectacular. Overall, absolutely loving it.
