St Etienne Extra Vieux Château La Tour Blanche 2016

TASTING NOTES :

COLOR : deep old gold with green hues.

NOSE : powerful with sweet spices and pepper.

PALATE : bold and full-bodied, combining character and freshness. A beautiful balance of power and aromatic intensity.

If it is close to its Scottish cousins in many respects, this version also knows how to stand back in order to better assert its origins. Its particularly original and even surprising aromatic palette is already a pretext for discovery.

NOTES DE DEGUSTATION

des arômes d’Indonésie...

Au double vieillissement en fûts de teck et de chêne americain (ex bourbons) s’ajoute une annee de vieillissement supplementaire en fûts de merisier qui apporte des arômes de miel et de griottes.

In this range, the hand and experience of the winegrower are essential in order to pay special attention to these organically grown vines, which will ultimately produce an Armagnac of rare purity and exhilarating richness. A return to the roots, to the beginning, when Armagnac vines accepted the vagaries of nature.

After more than 5 years of aging in oak barrels following the purest tradition of old HSE rums, this old rum was finished in Kilchoman whisky barrels, Islay Single Malt, for 4 to 5 months.

The Doorly's 12 years, an iconic product of the Foursquare distillery in Barbados, embodies the art of rum distillation and blending. This exceptional rum is the result of careful twelve-year maturation in the tropics, in barrels that previously contained Kentucky bourbon and Madeira.
This double distillation, using both pot still and column still, gives this rum unmatched aromatic complexity and finesse.
