#5105 08.02.2025 relaxing with a few samples at home. Nose Light wood, mint, light floral, fruits, light, cherry, light caramel, dried fruit. Palate Medium dry, wood, light tannins, fruits, dried fruit, light caramel, faint leather, mint. Finish Medium to long, wood, light tannins, light roasted, light citrus, mint.
In direct comparison with the almost equally old current Wu Dram Clan, which also has quite a few years of tropical history. The V&M is "dirtier" and darker, both of course have the same DNA. Lots of menthol, mint and therefore exactly the triggers that are welcome. I like both very much and am looking forward to the Whisky Jury, which should also be appearing soon. Great stuff. Seriously considering including both in the upcoming tasting to work out the divergent profiles. Cheers
Danke an Lukas für den tollen Split. Schöner TDL, hebt sich aber nicht ab von seinen Brüdern. Viel Minze, Holz, getrocknetes Obst. Gegen den Planteray kann er sich aber nicht durchsetzen, schon wegen des PLV
