Serge Valentin (81)

All right, the kind of bottling that any true whisky geek will just hate. No age, a fancy decanter, low strength, an unneeded story, laudatory reports on the shadiest ‘luxury’ websites probably operated in Nigeria, and around 1,200.00 Euros a bottle. Codswallop that would make even a Kazakh millionaire laugh, if you ask me. Colour: dark amber. Nose: the first word that comes to my mind is ‘cognacqy’. In truth, this is cognac. Raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes… And one Mars bar. The most expensive Mars bar ever. Mouth: better. Sure it’s good whisky. Raisins, prunes, raisins, prunes… Yeah well! Touches of oranges, honey, oranges, honey, oranges, honey (S., that’ll do). And guess what, there is some malt in there. The body’s pretty okay. Ish. Finish: gets a little bitter, a tad too liquoricy, and oddly leafy. Strange aftertaste with burnt notes and quite some coffee. Comments: pretty average oldish malt – and malty – whisky. Forgot to mention marmalade. So it’s pretty good, but slightly boring NAS whisky in a fancy decanter. As ‘luxury’ as a necklace by Swarovski or a gold-plated pocket watch by Franklin Mint. Only my own humble opinion, of course.
