Avis professionnels

Serge Valentin (90)

Another brand new one.

Colour: straw.

Nose: noses younger, sweeter, rounder, also more mature at the same time (like kids, whisky can be mature wile young, and conversely) – which is still a little bizarre, isn’t it. It seems to be a more civilised CI, while I remember CI6 was more brutal. Seawater, hessian, creosote, whelks, fresh walnuts, beach sand. With water: standing on the pier at the Distillery.

Mouth (neat): love this. It’s a tad more medicinal and herbal than the ‘masterpiece’. More mercurochrome. What a perfect spirit! With water: a blade. Plus earth and roots. Love roots.

Finish: ultra-long, earthy. Love earth.
