Pintail Girvan 17 Year Old Cask Strength Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$260. 00
Bottle
$3120.00 Dozen

ABV: 53.7%

For whisky lovers who think they've tried it all, here we have a middle-aged grain with a twist: Aged for around 16 years, nearing its peak, it then spent a full year in an ex-Fine Bretagne barrel, bestowing lots of juicy apple and a creamy texture. 'Fine Bretagne' (also known as ‘Lambig’) is an apple brandy made from distilled cider in the Brittany region, similar to Calvados (produced in neighbouring Normandy). The outturn was 256 bottles at a natural strength of 53.7% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Creamy and delicate with hints of vanilla custard, apple juice, pear drops, Galia melon, shortbread, marzipan. Palate: Warm apple tarte tatin, lemon sherbet, jasmine blossom. Finish: A warming note of white pepper with lasting almond oil and sweet apple butter pastries.

2015 Domaine Berthet-Bondet Chateau-Chalon

Jura, FRANCE
$270. 00
Bottle
$3240.00 Dozen

ABV: 15.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Berthet-Bondet was created in 1984 when Jean and Chantal Berthet-Bondet revived an old, long-dormant estate in Château-Chalon, drawing on Jean's early experience at Domaine Macle to guide the rebuild. Their holdings have since expanded to 11 hectares, largely Savagnin and Chardonnay, including 4 hectares in key south and south-east facing sites across Château-Chalon and neighbouring Menétru, now certified organic after decades of careful farming. The domaine quickly became known for its meticulous approach to both sous-voile and ouillé styles, a reflection of Jean's measured, thoughtful character and his influence within the appellation. Today his daughter Hélène leads the estate, refining the topped-up wines and further developing the range while demand continues to climb.
Chateau Chalon is no doubt the greatest site in the Jura for making Vin Jaune, the Grand Cru if you will, and produces wines with a touch more finesse than the other single site Vin Jaune.

2020 Guillaume Gilles Cornas

Cornas, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Guillaume Gilles is part of the new generation reshaping Cornas, drawing on formative years with Robert Michel and a period working at Domaine Jean-Louis Chave before establishing his own domaine around parcels inherited from Michel, including key holdings in Chaillot. He now farms 2 hectares on the south and south-east facing terraces of this site along with smaller plots in Les Grands Murs, Les Terrasses, Les Mazards and Les Saveaux, working manually and with organic principles. Winemaking follows the traditional approach he learned under Michel, relying on whole bunches, natural ferments, long macerations and extended aging in old demi-muids without racking, fining or filtration. The result is a style that combines purity and balance with the structure expected of Cornas, and it has positioned Guillaume as one of the appellation's most compelling contemporary voices.
Other Reviews....
Vivid purple. Deeply pitched cherry, dark berry preserve and licorice aromas pick up smoky mineral, olive and floral notes with air. Chewy and penetrating on the palate, offering concentrated, mineral-drenched bitter cherry, blackberry, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors that spread out steadily and turn sweeter with air. Shows solid grip and resonating minerality on a wonderfully long, smoky finish that echoes the dark berry and licorice notes. This is all Chaillot fruit, Gilles told me. Drink 2028-2038.

2021 Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot

Cornas, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
$285. 00
Bottle
$3420.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

The Balthazar family has worked the steep granite slopes of Cornas since 1931, and the estate is now led by Franck, who left his engineering career in 2002 to take over from his father René and continue the traditional methods established across three generations. The domaine farms just over 4 hectares, centered on old Sérine vines in Mazards, La Côte and a notable 1914 planting in Chaillot, with further terraces developed on the high, rugged slopes of Lègre and Les Prés. Viticulture is fully organic and worked largely by hand, with a strong commitment to historic practices in the vineyard and cellar, including whole-cluster, native-yeast fermentations in concrete and élevage in old demi-muids without fining or filtration. These elements, together with the quality of the sites, have positioned Balthazar as one of Cornas' most respected traditional producers and a significant contributor to the appellation's modern revival.
Other Reviews....
Opaque magenta. Intensely perfumed, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh black and blue fruits, licorice, bacon fat and olive paste, along with a suave floral overtone that builds as the wine opens up. Stains the palate with deeply concentrated but vibrant blackberry, boysenberry, violet pastille and exotic spice flavors, plus a smoky mineral flourish that gains strength through the back half. Chewy tannins shape an extremely long, mineral- and floral-driven finish that shows superb clarity and spicy drive.

Cassis, cherry pit, candied licorice and smoked meat aromas are complemented by suggestions of black tea and potpourri. Appealing sweet and focused on the palate, offering intense black and blue fruit, exotic spice and candied violet flavors and a touch of smokiness. Finishes extremely long and youthfully tannic, with the blue fruit, spice and smoke notes repeating.

Stunning depth of wild blackberry fruit with notes of white pepper and violets. Great fruit is wrapped around a core of fine tannins. Real finesse in the rugged context of this appellation. Very long, velvety finish with so much berry fruit and so many violets. 100% whole-cluster fermented and matured in demi muid oak casks. Drink or hold.

Other Reviews…..
From 50-year-old vines, with the shiraz hand picked and chilled for a week prior to the grenache, then co-fermented as crushed berries; additionally, there was a portion of grenache fermented with some whole bunches. This is an excellent expression, gifted elegance from a cooler year, and with varieties interlocking seamlessly, an appealing scrubby herbal note permeating the wild blackberry, tart boysenberry, ripe cranberry and dried cherry fruit notes, bay leaf, white pepper and iron accenting. The balance is impeccable, the feel both inviting and savoury. Drink by 2032.

Pretty classic stuff here, albeit you'd say this release is quite concentrated and potent in its fruit characteristics. Lemon-lime, sweet and tart at the same time, green apple, distinct blackcurrant notes, a little lemon oil and dashes of mandarin marmalade. Lots of talc here, too – powdery, lavender-like, and with a little bit of grip in texture. Nice one. Quietly complex. This should be singing with another year and onwards – and do wait if you can. Drink by 2035.

If Polish Hill River represents the power of Clare Valley Riesling, Watervale represents the finesse, the purity. Nowhere is this better exhibited than in the 2025 vintage. While it was a challenging vintage, by all accounts, Riesling shone. It shows. Bright, lime green hues. Classic Watervale scents, arrestingly aromatic and delicate in jasmine, wildflowers, bath salts, fresh lime and citrus skin and apple. An intensity of lime flavour lies at the wine’s core, a Watervale trait, in sync with florals. It’s a vibrant, alive palate with an easy textural flow in lime, green apple, pear skin, touch of rosemary, Thai basil and wet slate minerality. Finely textured with powdery fine acidity. Purity plus. This beauty will still be looking good in 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2040.

2024 Colle Marianna Soave

Cellar: Drink now - 2 Years (2025-2027)

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Delicious pear, green apple and lime fruits with a river stone like feel to the long engaging finish.
Coming from the commune of Ronca in the heart of Garganega country, Monte Ronca is a creation of local specialist, Antonio Fattori, an acknowledged Soave-master. Most the fruit for wines comes from the hills to the north of this commune, a specific site called Monte Calvarino, which peaks at 680 m (the inactive volcano from which the wine takes its name). At this altitude, this beautiful cool site provides a perfect environment for a higher grade, single site Soave. The hills around Monte Calvarino (in comparative terms to the region in general) are particularly steep, and from a viticultural perspective, pose some challenges. But to Antonio, this is critical to capture depth of flavour and structure, as the best expressions of Soave are never found on the valley floor where it gets too warm. Here, the ancient volcanic soils impart a flinty minerality to the hand-harvested fruit, while in the cellar, lees stirring and subtle oak ageing and varying levels of appassimento add a rich texture and further complexity to the wine.
Brilliant very pale straw almost water like core with highlights of green around the edges. Aromas of pear, red apple skin and lime intermingle with fresh Mediterranean herb and wet stone notes. Delicious fleshy pear fruit is intermeshed with green apple, lime, infusions of fresh herbs and stony mineral elements. Crisp acidity with a river stone like feel to the long engaging finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Other Reviews….
The name of this wine is a tribute to James Somerville, an early Paracombe pioneer who first planted vines in the region in 1903. The family is now the custodian of those vines. The wine spent three years maturing in new French oak. 312 cases made. Fabulous to see a wine with ten years already under its belt before release. Those who don’t have their own cellaring facilities or who want to explore just what an older wine can offer, should definitely be chasing this gem. The colour is a dark maroon with a magenta rim. The nose exhibits notes of chocolate, licorice, mocha, coffee grinds and dried herbs. There is good oak integration throughout and the palate sees the flavours move more to the dark plums and blackberries spectrum. Complexity is most definitely evident and there is good intensity through to the juicy finish. A wine of direction with sleek tannins and impressive length, this has at least another decade ahead of it. Drink 2025-2035.

Ken Gargett – WinePilot.com
The vines are over 100 years old and were transplanted in '97 to the Paracombe Vineyard site from the historical Somerville Vineyard. The wine is released mature. This is a bombastic, ultra-lush and rich red, with decadent tones of ripe plum, dark chocolate, espresso, ageing leather, toasted hazelnuts, mint and mixed dried peel and raisin. There's a touch of port-like character, but it fits the bill for the alcohol level and maturity on hand. It's concentrated and squishy in texture, a touch of bitter, smoky wood peeking through, some lemony tones to acidity, but overall, a wine that feels composed and relatively graceful, and, geez, the potency of the fruit and spice, secondary characters and oak, and carriage and mesh of that, are impressive. Drink by 2029.

2013 Edradour Bourbon Cask Matured 11 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 60%

These unusual ‘deluxe’ all-natural bottlings are now considered 'quintessential' distillery expressions by many, instantly identifiable by the heavy Ibisco decanters they come in. Drawn from a batch of American oak ex-bourbon barrels, this one marks a point of difference to the frequently heavily masked sherried styles. Instead, the distillate is on show, which has been compared in weight and richness to Mortlach. Serge Valentin at whiskyfun.com describes similar releases as "lovely, thick yet bright spirit." (The days when the quality of Edradour was a gamble are definitely over!) Expect notes of coconut, tea biscuits, green apples, nutmeg, cream and honeycomb. The outturn was 1997 bottles at 60% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... The aroma is intense, typical for aging in ex-bourbon. Notes of peaches and vanilla. The flavor is bright, powerful, and intense, with a strong retronasal effect. The finish is quite long but light, with honey-fruity notes and a touch of spice. The aroma can and should be savoured, but drinking it is even more enjoyable. Watch out, 60ABV is not a joke. But i still did drink it stright and with out water. - whiskybase.com

This tier, as in Filius and the blend, is standing tall of late and it’s pleasing to see, or rather, taste. If anything, this is more elegant and restrained, a balance of citrus, white stone fruit and tropical fruit, a flutter of fresh herbs but texture and a fine acidity lead. The palate lingers, it’s a touch savoury and moreish. Good drinking here folks. Drink by 2030.

Coming from vines planted back in the 1970s, the OLW Polish Hill River Riesling tends to be the formal, and perhaps slightly austere of the pair. Always elegant, it offers even greater ageing potential. The colour is a near invisible shadow of yellow, as pale as one could imagine. A powerful style with a minerally backing, there are notes of citrus, grapefruit pith, a touch of river stones and oystershells, lemon curd, spices and florals. A steely line of acidity runs the length. The wine has focus and energy and a very long future. A stunning Riesling which will easily provide pleasure for the next twenty years. Drink 2025-2045.

Sourced from the 1969-planted Westgate vineyard in the Grampians, aged nine months in French barriques (15% new). An auspicious debut for this new label started by Melanie Chester (winemaker at Giant Steps) and Ben Mullen (from Mulline) and their respective partners. A brilliant crimson purple. Geez, this smells good. Aromas of dark fruits, lavender, graphite, a little olive tapenade and garrigues. Textured with velvety, persistent tannins and bright acidity. A delicious wine, that while hard to keep your hands off even now, will reward at least a decade in the cellar. Drink by 2032.

The 2022 King's Wood Shiraz is exotic and visceral on the nose; blood and iron, pressed roses and crushed ironstone gravel all waft out of the glass. On the palate, the impact of the old oak is felt—or rather, it is not felt, which adds a seamless flow to the fruit and tannin across the tongue. It matured for 18 months in a combination of large-format (25 hectoliters) Austrian and French oak foudres. The wine is all tobacco and Earl Grey tea, brick dust and pipe resin, arnica and a hint of star anise. Great. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2024-2037.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
This is about as fine as shiraz can get in the Vale, boasting filigreed tannins and such a natural sense of freshness that it whets the palate and makes one hungry at first sip. Northern Rhône-like scents of grilled meats, cloves, lilacs and Damson plums. A gentle cascade across the spicy framework to a long, immensely refined finish. All foudres vats, Austrian and French. Despite the full body, the wine is almost ethereal in the best sense, making for effortless drinking despite the profundity in the glass. This has such delicacy and cooler climatic tension to it that it is truly startling. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

From Block 12 on a southeast-facing sandy ironstone outcrop; 15% whole bunches, the rest crushed; matured in French and Austrian foudre for 18 months. A very Rhône-like release this, with peppery spicing, blackberry pastille, moody blue florals, lavender, blueberry, cocoa powder and freshly ground star anise. The elegance here is admirable, with a tannin drive from front to back, and no sweet spot. A very fine release. Drink by 2034.

Aromatics are abundant with charred sour cherry, juicy red berries, savoury sweet woodsy spice, a whiff of game, still a hint of blood and a red earthed rock salt note. Great fruit intensity on the palate, waves of flavour and a precise drive from start to finish. The shape holds firm, the acid line is long and lean, and the chalky texture wraps around it snugly with lightly toasted oak. This has brilliant length and shape, with an emotive shapeshifting quality to it. Nudging into crevices and bringing you back to the glass for more. The finish is long, and that just bitter char note holds strong, a nice foil to the fruit freshness. slight herbal, red cherry cola note. Brilliant and resplendent with clean-cut energy.

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit
The 2022 Pinot Noir is lighter than the 2020 and softer than the 2021. In 2022, the decision was made not to release any single-vineyard wines "because they didn't express the character that we were hoping for in that vintage," says Winemaker Helen Masters. On the nose, there's white strawberry, cherry, pomegranate pearls and even a hint of raspberry leaf. In the mouth, the wine is pink peppercorn, open and yet compact, open-weave without being loose. There's clarity. It's lovely. The best fruit from the three single vineyards and the older estate vineyards make up this wine, yet the overall volume of the Ata Rangi Pinot Noir remains the same. Interesting to note that in 2023, there was no Ata Rangi 2023 made; all of the fruit flowed to the Crimson cuvée, the first time in the estate's 39 years. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2023-2037.

Bruichladdich Octomore 16.3 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$360. 00
Bottle
$4320.00 Dozen

ABV: 61.6%

Other reviews... As always, 100% Octomore Farm-grown barley, aged 5 years full term in a mix of bourbon, Sauternes, and Pedro Ximénez casks. 189.5 ppm (last year’s 15.3 was 307.2ppm for comparison). Compared to many other “.3” Octomore releases, this one’s a real softy, and the lower peat level (while still extreme) is immediately noticeable; that’s not a bad thing, as last year’s 15.3 was overwhelming. The whisky makes room for lots more beyond peat, and again that’s great, as some “.3” releases can be ashy and sullen. An immediate pop of dark chocolate and orange marmalade, wrapped in baking spice, gives the whisky a holiday vibe on the nose. The palate sees the same elements at first, plus a bold raisin character driven by that PX influence. As it develops, the peat melds with the lemony-buttery elements to create a surprisingly rich and creamy experience, almost like pastry dough left by the fireplace for a few hours. The finish evokes notes of coconut and sesame cakes, with a vein of saline. My favorite of the collection this year. 123.2 proof. - drinkhacker.com

$4200.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Presented in a gift box illustrated by award-winning artist Sija Hong, The Macallan Litha celebrates a “meeting of two worlds”—Scotland and Spain— shaped by first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera. The result is a radiant, summer-evoking single malt that balances bright fruit with indulgent sweetness and warm oak spice. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Only NAS and 40% vol. again, but 1st fill sherry (seasoning)! You cannot have everything, I suppose, even in China. The price is totally typo-y (meaning it can only be a typo at 300-400€). Apparently, Litha means 'light' in some kind of Celtic language – or is it Gaelic? Mandarin? Cantonese? Colour: dark gold/light amber. Nose: clearly something old-school Macallan, with a rather perfect sherry indeed, many roasted nuts, rather rose and jasmine this time, dark honeys, dried figs and dates, blueberry muffins, a fresh box of cigars, a little parsley and mint, some black earth (potting soil) and peanut butter… This really is an awesome nose, despite the strength. But low strengths rather feel on your palate… Mouth: not as 'peacocky' on the palate, but this was to be expected. Once again the wood feels a little bit, with more black tea and pepper, while the distillate would try to shoot dried fruits, marmalade and roasted nuts. Sadly, it remains a little weak and thin, which I find frustrating. Why 40% vol.! Finish: shortish, nuttier. Walnut cake and marmalade in the even shorter aftertaste. Comments: very light on your palate, indeed pretty 'Litha'. The nose was very adorable. 85 points. - whiskyfun.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Butterscotch, vanilla and chocolate lift into citrus and tropical fruits. Palate: Vanilla ice cream with berry compote, toasted oak and warming wood spice, layered with salted caramel and pecans. Finish: Medium in length with lingering fruits, vanilla and sweet oak.

The Macallan A Night On Earth The First Light Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Macallan's special releases are becoming so numerous that apart from the bespoke packaging and artwork, it's sometimes hard to differentiate between them. Most are matured in sherry-seasoned oak, which historically has been a defining feature of the Speyside distillery. Every now and then, they throw some bourbon barrels into the mix as well. Such is the case with the new A Night on Earth: The First Light. According to the distillery, the barrels were used sparingly to bring “delicate sweetness” to the palate, so the majority of the whisky was still aged in sherry-seasoned American and European oak. Official tasting notes describe notes of caramel, mellow baking spices, vanilla ice cream, pavlova, icing sugar, stone fruits, and hints of coconut and Manuka honey on the palate. The reference to The First Light, is meant to celebrate the arrival of the New Year in New Zealand with the presentation featuring colourful illustrations by New Zealand artist, Bonnie Brown. 43% Alc./Vol.

Dark red in colour with black toned edges and a dark red hue. Fragrant red raspberry, red liquorice and ripe cherry scents leap from the glass trailed by dried herb and peppered earth notes. Juicy ripe raspberry, red liquorice and cherry fruits meld into a vanillin confectionary, dried herb and peppered earth back drop. Lively acidity and fine grained tannins with a fresh, fruit driven mid length conclusion.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Kinglake Distillery Weird Science Cask Strength Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$154. 99
Bottle
$1859.88 Dozen

ABV: 60%

340 bottles make up the newest special release from Kinglake, born in ex-bourbon, "finished in madness". After a spell in American oak, it was transferred to a cask that held Tallboy and Moose’s lunatic Eisbock, a beer so unhinged it was quintuple ice-distilled to 20% before being aged to a final, brain-melting 30% ABV. Kinglake wet-filled that barrel with one-year-old spirit and let the mountain humidity work its twisted alchemy for another three years. The result comes out of nowhere, a delicate, nuanced single malt that belies its cask strength. A perfect springtime, single-malt solution. 60% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Aromas of Riesling and river pebbles softening into something warmer: crisp green apple peel, honeyed malt, and the faintest suggestion of sun-dried hops. The texture is silken but nervy, Riesling crossed with pale ale and raised by whisky. Lemongrass, wild honey, and mineral salt with faint echoes of that Eisbock past -, roasted grain, and a ghost of toffee. It’s crisp yet creamy. The finish doesn’t so much fade as evolve. A burst of lemon sorbet and malted milk, chased by a cooling minerality that recalls slate, cold air, and curiosity. - Alex Woods – timeandtide.info

Bruichladdich Octomore 16.1 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$270. 00
Bottle
$3240.00 Dozen

ABV: 59.3%

Other reviews... 5 years old, as noted, bourbon-barreled in 100% first-fill barrels; peated to 101.4 ppm of phenols — quite low for the series. 100% Scottish Concerto barley. This is one of the most immediately engaging “.1” Octomore releases I’ve encountered in a while, and it hits the nose with a freshness that can be lacking in the bourbon-exclusive version of Octomore. Sweet and fruity, there’s a strong tropical bent on the nose that makes for a nice companion to the lacing of peat smoke, ringed with tobacco-adjacent greenery notes. The palate keeps the theme going, here the fruit veering more to apricot and peach notes, later segueing into almond and honey. The peat is fairly light-handed here but always waiting in the wings. When the fruity sweetness fades a bit, it roars to life with a gravelly punch evoking turned earth more than beach bonfire this year, which ultimately threatens to overpower the milk chocolate notes that arrive on the finish. 118.6 proof. - drinkhacker.com
...I expected a mediocre whisky for a lot of money, which doesn't match the quality, but instead I received a very decent whisky, traditionally with plenty of smoke, sweet yellow fruit in the form of apples, apricots, and juicy peaches. The finish is very pleasant, with a campfire and a hint of chocolate and fresh mint. If I find it at a good price somewhere, I'll gladly buy it. - whiskybase.com
101.4ppm peat, which is almost nothing really. I mean, for Octomore’s malt, which can apparently reach 300ppm or so. The barley itself was harvested in 2018, then distilled in 2019. Never forget the dormancy period of barley, during which freshly harvested grains don’t germinate straight away, it can last several months. Naturally, no germination means no malting. Colour: straw. Nose: precisely the feeling of burying one’s nose in a full ashtray at an open-air nightclub on the Côte d’Azur, around four in the morning. Then the smell of a spent fireplace in which mostly coniferous wood had been burnt. In the background, just a faint whiff of slightly sour beer. With water: apples and almond milk emerge, accompanied by a touch of brine. Mouth (neat): very powerful, it does burn a fair bit, but it also recalls high-ester Hampden, something like <DOK. One of these days we ought to do a proper and methodical comparison. With water: someone seems to have smoked brine and added sour apple juice. Finish: very long, very nervous, with a kind of ultra-concentrated fino sherry character. Ashes and black pepper rule the aftertaste. Comments: a bit like sea water after a phantom Russian tanker has passed by, feels rather more extreme than last year’s ‘15.1’. 87 points - whiskyfun.com

Glendronach Ode To The Embers Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 48.4%

Other reviews... Part of a trio of whiskies celebrating Glendronach’s use of sherry casks, Ode to the Embers is a peated malt that leaps out of the glass with smoke and cinders, the dense peat melding with the sherry cask influence to create a meaty impression with barbecue spices and charred aromas. The palate dials back the peat and lets the cask influence shine: Ripe berries, apples, and heather honey blend into a slightly smoky, very fruity finish. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...Apparently, the smoke genuinely comes from the distillate itself, not from any sort of finishing in an ex-cask of… let’s say Laphroaig, as many tend to do. Colour: gold. Nose: a light smoke, nicely integrated into the sherry, with no clash. A faint whiff of exhaust fumes, which we rather enjoy, then some myrtle and cherries, pleasant touches of natural rubber, a hint of smoked meat (some kind of smoked beef jerky), followed by barbecue smoke and pine needles. Mouth: it’s a touch more dissonant for me, on rubber, pepper, bitter zest, sour cherries, and a faint note of prosecco, even Aperol Spritz. Finish: medium length and still rather marked by the Aperol. Aperol, that’s not owned by Brown-Forman, is it? Comments: I find it quite pleasant as well, with a few modern flavours and a slight cocktail edge. One must move with the times, I suppose. 82 points - whiskyfun.com
