Now discontinued – Sauternes Finish – 46%

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Slightly grassy, vanilla, orange
Palate: Minimal peat, slightly sweet, bitter oranges, some chili
Finish: Long and spicy
Overall: A nice balance of spice and fruity sweetness. The amount of finish is just about right.

Score: 84/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

Chateau d’Yquem 1992/2008 – 46%

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Honey, slightly spicy
Palate: Quite sweet, but also a lot of “wood spice” , slight citrus notes
Finish: Medium long, sweet and dry, almost a bit peppery
Overall: Generally, I don’t mind the combination of sweet and spicy in a whisky, but somehow this one does not appeal to me very much.

Chateau Margaux 1992/2008 – 46%

My Tasting Notes

Nose: Just like a glass of red wine
Palate: Sweet, the wine can be noticed, but not as strong as in the nose. Reminds me a bit of port, but also slighly spicy from the wood.
Finish: Medium long with a dry sweetness
Overall: Not bad but a tad to sweet for my taste. If tasted blind might even slip through as an Armagnac

Score: 80/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$
