Swell de Spirits #9 Wild Series Charron 2008 Bas-Armagnac 50,2%
Charron & Swell again! Another duo that has already seen here. 2008 vintage this time. Let’s go!
Colour: Old gold, orange lights. Irregular heavy tears.
Nose: Yellow fruit notes at first, mainly cooked peach and apricot. Sharp heathery scents lifted by strong oak influence. Pinewood notes, reminding me of some Bons Bois / Bois Ordinaires profiles. Varnished wood.
Palate: Rustic wood upfront on the palate, moving towards dry malted notes and herbal hints, giving something very close to a rye whisky profile. Plenty of bourbon vanilla in the aftertaste. Sharp tannins.
Last Notes: I can’t escape rye whisky impressions here. Camphory, medicinal notes. Brand-new plastic scents. Back on the palate, a full bowl of muesli and caramel sweets.
Rustic but unusual kind of armagnac. Not really my taste, to be honest.
My very subjective note: 83/100
83/100
