Tasting Notes
Nose
From the beginning, the nose is instantly hit with Armagnac. After moments of waiting to let the Armagnac settle, pink peppercorn and freshly crushed cinnamon stick add a layer of spice. Lemon oil wafts throughout the dram for brightness. Overripe pear is pungent, but toward the end, it becomes more woody and musky like wet cedar.
Palate
There is a lot going on with this dram! It is spicy with pink peppercorns but also mulling spices like cinnamon, clove, and allspice. Cedar makes the dram feel dry, especially with all the spices. However, I do get a metal key taste near the end and it just zaps my mouth. Overall, the whiskey reminds me of rum raisin cake. Straw and cornstarch are brought out on the finish.
