WHISKYNOTES.BE - 88/100
Nose: lots of varnish up front, with this highly estery hint of fermenting pineapples. Modelling glue, plasticine and ink. Diacetyl. Also acidic citrus notes and green bananas. After a while these fruity notes become sweeter – tinned pineapple prevails, mixed with a whiff of vanilla and clove.
Mouth: quite hot but doable. A little sweeter now, perhaps a bit less funky as well. Pineapple sweets merge with banana cake. Later hints of olives in brine, with grapefruit and a dry and rubbery mouthfeel. Minty notes and dried herbs, as well as a floral woody touch.
Finish: long, still pretty industrial, with more herbs and resinous notes, as well as a light salty edge.
Score: 88/100
