Tasting Note
Fist Fill Bourbon
Tasted: Mar 2019
The nose is a little tight with a lovely earthy pungency and hints of fresh rose petal, sweet barley, salt, peat and gritty tannins. Beneath lies some estery pineapple fruit and with time the oak becomes pleasantly charred/ toffee’d.
The palate is pungent, salty and earthy with sweet vanilla, gritty tannins, rose petal, peat and some oily, estery fruit on the middle. Slightly masked finish with a touch of straw-like barley, citrus, vanilla and white chocolate.
With water the nose becomes sweeter and more barley’d with sweeter oak notes and sweeter fruit. For all that sweetness the saltiness balances superbly. The subtle pet note has disappeared though. The palate is softer and less pungent and like the nose is sweeter, oakier and fuller, but again, like the nose the saltiness balances. Long and continuing salty with lingering rose petal, citrus and subtle wood spice.
