Serge Valentin (87)

Most probably distilled around the year 2000, with maybe some slightly older batches thrown in. Colour: white wine. It’s getting paler and paler year after year. Nose: rather pungent and peaty at first nosing, briny and almondy, with also a little butter and hints of pineapple sweets. Also hints of dill and carrot tops, roots, gentian and earth. Calms down after a few seconds although it becomes smokier (exhaust fumes). Globally dry and with little fruitiness apart from the faint estery notes at first nosing (pineapples). I like this nose! Mouth: sweet and earthy start, extremely close to what the nose delivered. It’s not immensely smoky, rather ashy for a while… Until the peat gradually takes over, that is. A saltiness and more and more smokiness, liquorice wood, maybe hints of cumin, ginger… And gin? Only touches of lemon. I think the Ten becomes more and more dry and less and less fruity but I must say I enjoy this kind of profile quite a lot, so I won’t complain. Finish: long and saltier. Anchovies? Comments: excellent whisky in my opinion. Maybe it’s not as complex as it used to be but the profile is perfectly ‘focused’ and the smoke is, well, big.

More smoke and wood notes. Vanilla and campfire. The peat and ash are way more pronounced and less sweet and clean.

Palate : Peppery. Mega ash and lots of smoke. BBQ. Bonfire. Sweeter but not as fruity, but with more citrus.

Finish : Raw Peat. Smoke. Ash. Toasted Wood And vanilla.
