B4.3 - Full flavour behaviour

3 years old, distilled 8th February 2013, 63.4% abv, New Charred Oak, 108 bottles

SMWS B4.3 - Full flavour behaviourThe nose has menthol, apricot, mango and pineapple. There's also a hint of dessicated banana. The mouthfeel is decent and smooth, with no hint of the high abv. The body has sultanas, dessicated banana, cherries and a little ginger. The finish is long and sweet - pineapple and banana.

Water brings out rapidly expanding whorling that settles into decent mottling. The nose gains honey and is a little less mentholic. The body loses the ginger, and gains more of the banana and cherries. The finish gains some cherry.

This is a lovely dram, for relaxing after a crappy day at work...

4.5/5
