Nose

Very grapey – reminiscent of pisco. Caramel, straw in the sunshine, wet chalk and milk chocolate.

Palate

More grape spirit on the palate. This seems like a pretty young whisky – mainly distillery character and not much wood in there. Caramac sweetness develops into tarmac and stone minerality on the mid-palate, plus some cocoa.

Finish

The cocoa develops into a dark, bitter chocolate finish.

Comment

There’s real interest here, but I’d love to taste a bit more age on the liquid.
