Serge Valentin (82)

No easy whisky, and usually very polarising. Scores ranged from 71 to 86 for this baby at the MM Awards 2010. Let’s taste it more formally today…

Colour: gold/orange.

Nose: as porridgy as malt whisky can be, but it’s not off-putting at all, it’s just very peculiar. Also sour wood, walnuts, graphite, ‘pipe juice’ and old sweet wine (Maury and such). Quite some liquorice as well, roasted chestnuts… And then the heady porridgy/yeasty notes are back. Perhaps also a little marrow bouillon?

Mouth: a jammy and candied sherry for a start, then crystallised oranges, caramel, Demerara sugar and quite some ginger/cinchona. No sourness. Really tastes like speculoos after a few minutes, not to mention a little stout beer.

Finish: long, caramelly, ‘Guinnessy’. Some black tea in the aftertaste.

Comments: a different dram that makes me think of some heavy pipe tobacco, I ‘don’t know why… I like this.
