Colour: gold. Nose: very fruity at first nosing, rather bourbonny. Lots of bananas, vanilla, oak and freshly cut pear (buttery pears). Gets woodier and woodier (carpenter’s workshop) but the profile is rather close to the new officials. A super-Fine Oak? Mouth: very, very oaky and lots of liquorice but that’s okay here. Really close to a very old bourbon (something that reminds me of Hirsch but I’m not a bourbon guy). Loads of vanilla, orange sweets and a long and compact finish on oak and vanilla.
