Tasting notes Serge Valentin: 86 points (WhiskyFun.com)
We've already tried one of those, not even sure I've already published my note. We're a little disoriented these days. It's sourced Irish whiskey finished in barrels that have been charred using wakame seaweed from the Atlantic. As long as no one ever uses gunpowder…
Colour: light gold.
Nose: oh, I remember, this is good fun, even if it is pretty unlikely. Bicycle inner tube, loads of caraway, loads of nutmeg too, cumin, Barbour grease, masala… I don't think anyone would get the wakame, which is not very aromatic anyway, but this very peculiar tarry and rubbery side is working very well. Perhaps for petrolheads?
Mouth: so funny! You would get some salt now, some smoke for sure, something balsamic, rubbers, burnt eucalyptus wood perhaps, while you would then experience a curious feeling of pine-smoked grapefruits and curry. No, really.
Finish: long, on similar notes. Salty lemons kept in coal tar, with a drizzle of Port Ellen. Who's going to try to make that? Comments: crazy but good fun. We all need fun. Bravo!
