TASTING NOTES - THREE SHIPS12YO DOUBLE WOOD BLEND

Nose

A fresh sea breeze over lemon trees. A minor, distant smoke. At times some aromatic, balsamic herbs stand out (juniper, mint, rosemary, mild licorice), with a slightly bitter side.

Palate

Round and mellow, sweeter than the nose in a pleasant way, with a nice quality vanilla and some brown sugar. Some aromatic herbs, less balsamic and less bitter than the nose are still coming through, making the experience quite interesting and dynamic. A pinch of salt.

Finish

Medium, again with interesting sweetness helped by the aromatic herbs extra sensations.

Three Ships 12yo Double Wood Blend is an interesting whisky, with a standard marine profile of acidic fruit which is enriched by a balsamic herbs contribution, which is making the experience more dynamic and varied. Palate is not identical to nose, yet rather coherent and pleasant. The finish is medium duration. The ABV seems well balanced and integrated, making the fruition interesting and rather intense, yet smooth.
