WILLETT 8 ans 2016 Bourbon Single Barrel Itinéraires

Description Profile:Fine, deep. Apricot, pepper. Corn, citrus. Precious woods, curry. Colour: Old gold with copper highlights. Nose: Fine and deep. Delicious notes of apricot and pepper intertwine with remarkably pure corn aromas. With aeration, scents of citrus (orange, mandarin), wax, salted butter caramel, cucumber, and ginger add further complexity. Palate: Lively yet subtle. Closely echoing the nose, the flavour profile opens with intense notes of orange, caramel, and corn. It then evolves toward heady tones of oak stave, praline, and dried fruits (date, walnut). Finish: Rich and silky. Powdery (cocoa, ginger) and vanilla-driven, the finish gradually takes on more oriental nuances (curry, saffron, orange blossom). Remarkably fresh, the retronasal aromas invite the enjoyment of a fragrant cardamom tea.
