Tasting Note:
The Hidden Paridise Of Black Rock
Matured in refill and re-charred American Oak, then finished in Jamaican Pot Still Rum-seasoned casks. 58% ABV
Appearance: Clear gold.
Nose: Beguiling first impressions begin with the fresh, sweet fruitiness of
lemon zest and white grape enriched by exotic notes of pink grapefruit
and ripe mango, all on a faintly mossy base, a note that evolves into
freshly ironed linen. A notably spicy and woody note soars high above. A
drop of water dries these aromas and introduces a pinch of white pepper.
Body: Light to medium.
Palate: A creamy-smooth and full texture, the taste erupting with sweet
flavour. Tingling on the tongue, the fruity and malty sweetness behind
this suggesting home- made rum toffee and more exotic hints of spiced
pineapple and green banana, made more appetising still by spicy and
drying, bracingly crisp, clean oak. A dash of water creates a delightful
and even smoother texture, still strong in peppery spice.
Finish: Quite short, sweet and peppery. With water, the oaky
spiciness is even more forward.
