Barbados 16 Year Old 2006 Bottled by LDMW – 70cl

TASTING NOTES

Colour : Old gold with coppery highlights.

Nose : Rich, voluptuous. Cocoa beans and acetic notes [gherkin] form an unprecedented and original olfactory duo. With aeration, medicinal scents [bandage, arnica] spread over a spicy [clove] and heady [ylang-ylang] aromatic palette.

Palate : Both lively and robust. At the palate’s attack, flavors of sugar cane, vanilla, and geranium achieve a perfect harmony. In the mid-palate, licorice introduces an ethereal [macerated fruits, royal jelly] and peppery [Cayenne] finish.

Finish : Long, dynamic. The beginning of the finish pleasantly reveals oxidative notes [mirabelle plum, raisin]. Delightfully praline, the aftertaste unveils a chocolate bitterness. Flavors of candied ginger and cinnamon embellish the very end of the palate.
