I've had a couple bottlings for Giovinetti (sr.), and I must admit I find this more of a crazy curiosity than a whisky I'm dying to try. Some 8yo Fettercairn amongst others. The color is neo-traditionally adjusted, and there's some sediments that I believe have been released from the inside of the screw cap. It smells heavy vanilla, sage, cardamum, heather, hay, coriander, cinnamon, nuts, caramel, prunes, malt syrup, a rather sweet and malty blend, it seems. The taste is buttery, nutty, caramel, cinnamon, some vanilla, wallpaper glue, stamp glue if you want a tasted reference, some weird notes on the finish. No reason to add water, but lets try just for fun. Now it turns more peppery, minced garlic and chili, lots of spices, still some malty notes and vanilla. A curiosity, well worth tasting, but still a curiosity in my opinion. Merry Christmas!
This blend speaks fluently Vanilla: 5
