A small record for this new expression and its sevenfold maturation, mainly in French wine casks. It has become the symbol of a new turning point for the distillery.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

Very woody nose, sandalwood, blueberry, baked apples sprinkled with cinnamon, a touch of smoke. On the palate, the influence of French wine casks can be felt : heather earth, dark chocolate, forest fragrances, humus, walnuts. Quite warm and complex. Clusters of grapes, wood bark, fig. Paprika, blood orange, saffron. The finish is moderately long, vegetal and fruity, with a hint of the distillery's hallmarks, apricot, orange jam. Damp earth at the end.

 

In Short, 

It's really not bad, relatively complex, not too young, original. But this time, it's the price that is the problem, which is a shame.

Score : 83
