BOW (86)

Serge Valentin (85)

The low-strength (well, 46.5%) 6th batch had been excellent in January (WF 85) despite an immoderate use of Tawny Port. Now this one's pure bourbon… Colour: vin blanc. Nose: Incredible, we're not far off the Teeling even if it's not quite the same Irish style, which would tend to prove that the Teeling's style mainly came from the use of very active American oak. Ah, there's nothing like empirical discoveries, is there? Anyway, we have lots of lemon, grapefruit, and green apple again, not forgetting rhubarb. With water: much smoother, with white chocolate, shortbreads, Italian lemon biscuits, a little thyme tea... Mouth (neat): exactly the same ultra-fruity side dominated by citrus and green apples. Cream eggs, ready for Easter. With water: it softens again, with the arrival of a bit of coconut milk, marshmallows, and Haribo sweets, chamomile... Finish: quite long, lemony, fresh, very pleasant. Comments: It really does seem like a twin brother to Teeling's Crystal. Very nice.
