Une Odyssée by Alfred Giraud, 52.9%

Price: 2800 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: French Whisky

Lush fruit and honeyed richness on the nose, then baked pastries, caramelized apples, hints of citrus peel, spun sugar, baked apricot, and a dusting of spices. The balance is incredible, with a silken and honeyed palate that offers a textured sugariness and cognac sweetness, tropical fruits, marzipan, vanilla, baked desserts, and a mouth-coating, spicy finish of dried fruit and baked sugar. A gorgeous decadent pour, delivering a luxury profile that doesn’t disappoint.
