WHO CAN CONTRACT
Laberdolive estate is run by the same family for over five generations. They only bottle vintage releases at cask strength with no additives whatsoever. The family still fires their alembics with open fire using oak logs only. The soil of the estate is extremely sandy giving the spirit its characteristic delicate fruity and spicy notes.
Color: Rich copper, with a red hue.
Nose: Red plum, raisins and sultanas. Warm, like nosing a hot toddy. Letting it breathe adds oak, butterscotch, caramel and vanilla notes. After some time I even started to nose very gentle fire place ash, latex gloves and burnt cookies.
Palate: It has a nice enjoyable harsh kick. Raisin cookies, cinnamon and nutmeg. Time calms it down nicely. Almost the same effect like adding a few drops of water to whisky. I start to get the soothing taste of honey and cloves.
