XO#3

Colour

Coppery gold

Nose

One could spend a long time with this nose without getting tired of it. A boundless sensory immersion, the nose calls for patience as much as it calls for time to stand still. More than a fragrance, it's a whisky! Inspiring, breathing! Lightness and complexity hand in hand. Freshness and exoticism are intertwined. Touches of star anise and a pinch of turmeric support the vegetal notes of white flowers. The northern right bank of the Rhône in a new, yet so familiar, light.

Palate

A controlled and saline richness as the recipe for surprising bliss. A sip of menthol freshness, battling with ample and pastry-like generosity. The arbiter is in the shade of a eucalyptus tree. Lovers of pastries like Paris-Brest or choux pastry will fall for this sweet madness with gourmet notes of freshly roasted almonds and hazelnut praline.

Finish

A bergamot finish infuses a boost of vigour, a timely balance that makes this Single Malt a marvel of intricacy and creaminess. The sweet spices return at the end of the palate, it's powerful and refined, invigorating and warm. A vintage of flesh and brilliance.
