Maison Benjamin Kuentz Spicy Nouba, 45%

Price: 110 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: French Whisky


Intriguing use of cognac, Italian vermouth, and ginger brandy casks; the nose has lemon meringue pie, delicate florals, white grape, candied orange, green banana, herbs, ground pepper, mild paprika, tobacco, and new pencils. The palate shows sweet dried fruits, malt, light vanilla, caramels, ginger loaf, peppery spice, and a dry finish of bitter peels, turmeric, and pepper. 700 ml
