Serge Valentin Whiskyfun review
Colour: light gold. Nose: this one's a little more acetic and acidic at first, perhaps, certainly more on lemon juice, but it would then rush towards caramel and fudgedom, with some butterscotch and some utterly wonderful notes of mirabelle jam. Mirabelle jam big time! With water: yes, ripe mirabelles, quinces, all that. Mouth (neat): ooh this one's good, it seems that someone smart has decided to age mirabelle eau-de-vie in some ex-amontillado wood (nothing to do with reality, of course). With water: whoops, careful with water, some molecules playing dirty tricks on you. Like, pulling off old cardboard. As long as you add only two drops, you'll go on with nice fruity notes. Finish: medium, excellent, oh just don't add any water. Comments: water works in mysterious ways. Otherwise, superb Croftengea, not a peat monster by the way..
