Serge Valentin (87)

Are they sure that’s the right cereals on the label? Colour: gold. Nose: it’s a fatter spirit, it seems, more pastry-like, with some brioche, shortbread, then rather sultanas and tinned peaches… It’s got something of a youngish own-estate Cognac, I have to say, with also a floral side, nectar… Mouth: ah yes, as often, Invergordon’s rather ‘maltier’ than the others, fatter for sure, better textured, quite oily… Nice oranges, golden syrup, a little sunflower oil, soft caramel, Golden Grahams… All this works. Finish: rather long, with a touch of rum. Nice earthier aftertaste. Some grain, really? Comments: some excellent malty, rather thick grain. Not much else to add.

Words of Whisky (88)

Whiskynotes: Nose: starts surprisingly bourbon-like., with a focus on the wood and wood glue, before it moves towards the more classic vanilla and creamy coconut. Very warm and rounded. Buttercups. Marshmallows. Hints of mint and banana skin. Candied ginger before it returns to saw dust. Mouth: very sweet and rich, with corn syrup, coconut and vanilla cake. Lots of fruity notes (peaches in syrup, orange candy and mashed banana) but also lots of (round) bourbonny / wheaty spice influence. Gets drier, on chocolate and pepper.
This is a very fruity, creamy grain whisky with relatively few oaky (as in plankish) notes. Given the syrupy profile, it’s perfect for people with a sweet tooth.
