Tasting notes Serge Valentin: 90 points (Whiskyfun.com)
L’Encantada is another house that we enjoy a lot. They’re independent bottlers.
Colour: deep gold.
Nose: absolutely wonderful pastissy start, full of wormwood and liquorice, then caraway in abundance, marzipan, walnut wine, aniseed, and crème au beurre. It’s a very bright Armagnac, full of life and freshness.
Mouth: in keeping with the nose, with bags of aniseed and wheelbarrows of liquorice, roasted pecans, fir tar, orange zests, plum jam, crystallised tangerines… How good is this? It is immensely good, and extremely malternative. A touch of green pepper too.
Finish: long, wonderfully grassy, fresh, vibrant, fruity. Wild strawberries and mint leaves.
Comments: totally impressed. A true malternative that would beat many very expensive malts fair and square. What we sometimes call a blind tasting star.
