Tatsing Notes & Points By Serge Valentine
Colour: gold. Nose: rather smoky at first nosing, slightly rubbery and ashy, with some rather dry sherry. Notes of burnt breadcrust, roasted nuts, barbeque. Quite some coal as well, fireplace… Unusually anti-sweet, I’d say, with also some hints of cow stable coming through after a moment. It doesn’t lack balance at all, that is.
Mouth: ah, it’s much sweeter now, with quite some sherry and kind of a tingling sugarness at first sip. Lots of dried fruits (shall we say ‘of course’?), nougat, mint chocolate, over-baked cake… Nice but quite simple, let’s try it with some water… While the nose gets even smokier but also farmier, the palate stays on the same kind of flavours, with just a little more caramel (Werther’s Originals) and dried oranges.
The finish is very long, that is, on dried and crystallised oranges. In short, a nice sherried Cragganmore, not too complex but very compact and satisfying.
