Lost Distillery Jericho

The idea behind the Lost Distillery products is appealing, even if I question its scientific basis. It has a robust aroma, surprisingly reminiscent of a "sour mash bourbon style," with sweetness and sourness. After some time, I detect ripe pears. The taste is quite pleasing, slightly sweet with subtle woody undertones, a hint of cardamom spice, but otherwise fruity and almost floral. A pleasant warmth concludes the experience, with a raisin-like aftertaste similar to rum. It's very enjoyable. Similar to another product, there's ambiguity regarding the alcohol content – they state 41%, a limited edition bottle shows 45%, and the standard bottle I possess is 43%.

Aroma: immediate strong plum scent. Notes of Christmas spices. Very sweet. Taste: initially agreeable, fruity sweetness. Then spice emerges and takes the lead. Aftertaste: a touch of oaky bitterness, sweet spices. Almost sharp for me. In the end, only a dry bitterness remains for a while.

The aroma presents sherry-like notes of dried fruit, chocolate, with hints of allspice and pepper. The palate feels slightly oily, featuring dried fruit balanced by a touch of smoke and pepper, complementing the sweetness. The finish is of medium length, oily, with fading notes of dried fruit and pepper.

My preferred whiskey so far. Strong notes of burnt caramel and fruit cake. Sweet basil, clove, navel oranges, and light vanilla. A subtle generic sherry presence as well. Exceptionally sweet and smooth.

A good whiskey for daily consumption. The concept behind this distillery is quite fascinating. They aim to recreate whiskies using historical records from old, defunct distilleries.

Fruity, sherry finish with a reddish hue. A faint smell of a charcoal fire on the nose. Smooth from the start to the middle – finishes rougher. Enjoyable!
