Tasting whiskies for our selections is an adventurous ride, and in these months we are sampling a lot of casks to plan the bottlings for the whole year (and some for the next ones too). Some casks are an exciting and high speed race, other casks are a slower and more leisurely travel that takes years and years to reach perfection (but don`t worry... we`ll wait patiently until destination is reached!). Fabio Rossi has just returned from Edinburgh, to overlook some of our sleeping stock, and has brought back some very nice samples. Stay tuned in the next months!
In sella a una botte
Assaggiare i whisky per le nostre selezioni è un viaggio avventuroso, e in questi mesi stiamo campionando diversi barili per pianificare gli imbottigliamenti di tutto l`anno (e anche qualcuno per gli anni prossimi). Alcune botti sono una corsa emozionante ad alta velocità, altre invece sono un viaggio più lento e rilassato che impiega anni e anni per arrivare alla perfezione (ma non abbiate paura... aspetteremo pazientemente finchè non raggiungono la loro destinazione!). Fabio Rossi è appena tornato da Edinburgo dove ha supervisionato parte del nostro stock in maturazione, e ha riportato con sè alcuni campioni molto interessanti. Seguiteci nei prossimi mesi!
Sometimes maturation in sherry casks yields surprising and unpredictable outcomes. In this case the result is not explicitly fruity or winey, not at first anyway. After two years of finish in this type of cask, this Speyside malt is perfectly mature, even if at the nose it may initially seem a bit restrained. Give it time and a drop of water, and it will reveal buttery notes, liquorice, and even a faint but funky gasoline note. But what makes it very surprising is that dark note of toasted bread! At the palate, it’s more predictable: creamy, but again not exceedingly sweet. Raisins, desiccated plums, and a very fragrant note of freshly sawn wood. It then suddenly becomes spicier, more peppery, tannic and mineral. And then, just before the end… here comes the sweetness, with a marked note of dark chestnut honey!
