El Dorado 12 year old 40%
Tasting Note
A blend of the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills and the Port Morant double wooden pot still.
Tasted: May 2017
A dark and pungent nose with tobacco, sweet vanilla, honey and a touch of brown sugar. There are plenty of woody spice and dark tropical fruit with a light violety top note. Although the column still spirit plays second fiddle to the pot still spirit, the nose has a lovely, harmonious balance.
The palate is soft and wonderfully fruity. Subtly tropical with hints of vanilla, nuts, molasses and now some crisp column still notes. A touch of spice and brown sugar appears and the finish, although sweet is superbly balanced with lingering tobacco, spice and column still notes. Like the 8 year old it has a dark chocolate and coffee after-taste.
