Will this official match the wonderful single casks that are hitting our shores since three or four years? Colour: gold. Nose: this is more ‘our style’ but frankly, I wouldn’t say there’s much happening. I get quite some cardboard and gunpowder, struck matches, raisins, orange marmalade and something that reminds me of tamarind jam, then more light honey and blood oranges. It’s quite becoming quite nice after the sulphury notes have vanished (or we got used to them) but it remains very light. Mouth: more happening, with more spices and jams. Sultanas and pepper, dark chocolate, liquorice, heavily sweetened black tea and maybe even prunes. This, is pleasant. Finish: medium long, a tad more grapy and raisiny. Liquorice in the aftertaste. Comments: it’s fairly good stuff, easily 80-material, but I think we’re far from the single casks that we know
