Cask 140.14 Cowpuncher rodeo dram
The nose delivered treacle, sherry and Big Red gum, red fruits and berries trampled by new cowboy boots and the after-sniff of Indonesian clove cigarettes. On the palate, the still-booted cowboy was smoking a cigar and tasting dried figs, port-soaked raisins and apples baked in brandy. The reduced nose deepened our fascination with custard tarts, prunes, cinnamon rolls and toasted almonds. The palate now reminded us of Camp chicory and coffee essence, baked bananas, candied orange dipped in chocolate, Beech-nut chewing gum and oak. After one year in an ex-Texas Rumble barrel this was transferred into a first-fill bourbon barrel.
We felt like explorers in a tropical rainforest with its hot and humid climate and all the sights, sounds and smells including orchids and bougainvillea, as well acai palm and Swietenia trees (the former known for its grapelike berries the latter for mahogany wood). The taste was big and spicy with loads of brown sugar and red fruits feeling like a tincture of concentrated herbal extracts made by soaking the bark, berries, or roots in vinegar. After reduction we imagined walking around traditional earthenware giant jars where traditionally grape juice was stored following harvest and, on the palate, beautifully balanced with ripe juicy black cherries, nuts, liquorice, pastries, and tobacco leaves. Made with a “Five Malt” recipe.
A pleasant soft vanilla aroma greeted the Panel before the scent of freshly cut pine trees, gentle spices and a hint of sea salt took centre stage. On a freshly tarred boat we then bit into a spicy tuna salad nori wrap with quinoa and avocado before treating ourselves to a slice of strawberry toffee tart. Following reduction, we discovered baked new potatoes with a seaweed mayonnaise dip. This was served with a ‘sparkling galliano’ cocktail of grenadine juice, Galliano and champagne in a flute garnished with a cucumber slice. Creamy, salty and sweet on the palate with a floral fragrance, this was truly a tasty morsel.
