MARS 5 ans 2018 Tsunuki - Tsunuki Aging #T803 Bourbon refill Hogshead (American White Oak) 20ppm Foundations

Nose : fine, airy. Initially, earthy (clay), meaty (leather) and malty (grist) aromas nourish an extremely delicate peat. At once mineral (rock) and sandy, iodized (sea spray) and vegetal (seaweed), the aromatic palette poetically evokes a stroll along the seashore under a springtime sky.

Appearance : or profond.

Palate : fluffy, gourmand. Equally pictorial, the taste palette first invites us to savor a piece of chocolate with fleur de sel. It then becomes increasingly gourmand, inviting us to indulge in orange liqueur, doughnuts, pralines and hazelnuts.

Overall : clean, generous. Overflowing with dynamism, the palette of flavors extends to herbaceous (rosemary) and roasted (espresso) tones. Continually gaining in deliciousness (chocolate muesli, mirabelle plum jam), it also becomes, over time, deeply malty, candied and mineral.
