FIELDEN Rye Whisky

Nose : Lively, heady. At first offering clear parallels with gin (juniper), the aroma palette quickly develops more milky tones (almond). Toffee and rye bread notes then take us to the world of American whiskey. Allowed to breathe, peach and melon form a lovely fruity transition.

Appearance : vieil or soutenu.

Palate : Clean, dynamic. The flavour palette is herbaceous (gentian, dill) and a delicious pretext to rediscover the peach notes found on the nose. Increasingly empyreumatic (kernel) and floral (ylang ylang), the palate then develops more salty, caramelised and lemon tones.

Overall : Long, well-balanced. Spices (ginger, cinnamon) make an impressive entrance and fill the air, while abundant herbs (rosemary, chervil) add to the herbaceous register. On the retro-nasal olfaction, vanilla pod and William’s pear bring a lot of creamy freshness.
