From cradle to barrel
No, my kids never got any whiskey to calm them down. The title refers to the fact that this Durga is intended to represent the entire whisky life from the raw materials to the barrel. There is something strange to be guessed at, or feared, but it starts off at least completely tolerably: a hint of toffee, fruit marinated in alcohol, a sour addition, probably a patchouli skeleton. Within half an hour a malty creamy creaminess gradually develops, which I would certainly have associated less with whisky than with a corresponding liqueur; keyword Toffee - it fits.
Argued backwards: The smell (and even more the taste) of physical whisky or other whisky always causes me a dull feeling in my stomach at first and that doesn't happen today. Therefore, the whisky content cannot be as strong as this, as sharply concluded by razor-sharp conclusions. In my opinion, the scent of alcohol is definitely more in the leisurely, cozy direction of Lubin's 'Korrigan'.
In addition, however, an aromatic smoky wood note emerges and contrasts finely with the creamy liqueuriness. Unfortunately, all this moves very close to the skin. That should have been more powerful. Otherwise the Durgas are not so shy (care - see below!).
Starting in the afternoon, the two more mature ingredients, i.e. the sour smoky and the whiskyesk whipped cream, increasingly have trouble asserting themselves against the creamy liquid toffee sweetness. But it succeeds. The fragrance turns into darkness, a sweet, latently sugary, yet with a hint of rough airiness resin impression takes over. What am I supposed to call that? Amber with a hint of vanilla maybe?
Only a fragment of the whisky idea remained directly on the skin. But that's okay, after all about eight hours have passed. A minimal H-cream note a little later and a portion of artificial wood in the evening are also of little importance. "The cellar master would certainly have shaken his head in "real" barrels made of such wood, but here he can be more relaxed, especially as he is served a long time of toffee to appease his appetite. Possibly a Pharisee candy.
And probably the biggest surprise is waiting in the office the next day: a cloud of toffee with a shot hangs in the air. Good morning! Good morning! Apparently, I had underestimated the Sillage
It's a nice fabric. I thank MisterE for the rehearsal.
