Maple Cask Rye

ABV 46%

The nose is floral to start with then shifting to that fish oil note which disappears at times. The palate is completely different, certainly wood driven.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Intense, fragrant. Dried rose, a touch of lavender. An oily note, close to fish oil. Quite unusual. Then some fresh almonds. Opening on fruit. Pear drop. Touch of lemon.\r

Palate: Dry and crisp. Some oak grip. Cooked apples. A touch of liquorice. Drying with a little spice.

Finish: Dry, spicy (ginger), astringent.

Comment: The nose is floral to start with then shifting to that fish oil note which disappears at times. The palate is completely different, certainly wood driven.

Score: 7.3

Neil Ridley

Taster

Nose: Freshly turned earth, Humbugs, some mossy/leafiness cinnamon and clove spiced mulled wine, liquorice, Brazil nuts and dark chocolate.

Palate: Wow, very, very sweet at first, with a lighter malty note developing, some hints of acacia honey and fresh cream. Not at all expected, given the dark character of the nose.

Finish: Some more robust oak and spice returns to the finish, but you're still left with a lighter creamy sweetness in tow.

Comment: A surprising contrast at work.

Score: 8
