Review and Tasting

Sampled on 21/11/2016

Appearance

(batch No. WT-03RB) Clear (with very slight sediment), coppery bronze.

Aroma

Roasted nuts, rolling tobacco, black pepper, burnt sugar and pastry with chocolate, vanilla custard and overripe banana. With water more caramel fudge and mint emerges.

Taste

Roasted brazil nut, walnut and dry peppery spiced oak with distinctive salty caramel. Notes of tobacco with faint mint. More buttery with water.

Aftertaste

Roast nuts, dried fruit and fudge with white pepper and lingering nutty crème caramel.

Overall

Dry, nutty and spicy with a distinctive saltiness. A Rare Breed indeed.
