Capel Double Distillation Transparente Pisco

Interesting nose. Phenolic, waxy, white pepper, sweet almond, stone fruit, tart cherries, floral, vanilla. Palate is similar, but also has an acidic feeling. Hints of mandarin, and vanilla. The finish is disitinctly grapey. Arrival is phenolic and sweet orange peel, moving into pepper, more phenols, apricot, then mandarin overlayed with vanilla. Finish is slightly bitter, and moderately long lasting. Nice silky mouthfeel. A bit hot for 40%, but plesantly so. Pleasant lingering tingle from the alcohol. Quite nice, and an interesting diversion from my usual forays into bourbon, Scotch, and rum.

On the nose, cut grass, raspberry, lime, and jasmine. Light and slightly astringent mouthfeel. Palate has more grass, raspberry, and lime – plus a note of thyme on the finish, which is relatively short. 2.25/5.00 – Mediocre (neat)

Very acidic upfront fading away to pleasant notes of pear and light citrus

Sweet and smooth. But sweet. Like ouzo without the licorice.

Terrific
