Smogen Whisky AB
Svensk Sherry Project 1.3 53.7% 50cl
Aged for 2 years and 10 months in heavily roasted European Quarter Casks. Finshed for 12 months in Oloroso sherry butt.
Tasted: Sept 2015
Intense aromas of charred oak and very winey, primal sherry. Big chunks of earthy peat, dried apricot orange with a light treacle veneer. Talking of chunks there's 90% cocoa chocolate, burnt raisins and developing green nuts, herbs and liquorice. An incredibly deep primal soup of a nose!
The palate is thick, winey, grapey with an almost Pedro Ximinez-like sherry character. Intense is not the word! Charred wood, green nuts, tannins and lots of herbal notes assail the palate. Thick slabs of oily peat emerge on the middle. Long, drying and slightly smoky with the peat becoming very sticky and tarry. Wow, that's a tannic finish, just liking licking the inside of the barrel!
Diluted the nose is still very primal, grapey, winey and treacly - so no change there! The palate has become a little lighter but not by much. Less intense on the peat and it allows a marmalade orange note to come through along with hints of 90% cocoa chocolate. The peat kicks in on the finish with waves of herbal, almost bog myrtle-like notes plus creosote, tar, liquorice and sticky cough syrup. Wow!!!!
