Blue Monkey ‘Guerrilla’s of the Grist’ English Single Malt Spirit 40%
Batch BM001 – 5 times distilled
Dist: Mar 2015 Btl: Apr 2015/ Tasted: Apr 2015
Pungent aromas of slightly butyric cherries, raspberries, malt and herbal eau-de-vie. Definitely well endowed on the malt side with plenty of liquorice, chocolate and straw-like notes too. It’s very much like an eau de vie de bière or Bierbrand.
Soft and straw-like on the palate. Maybe a little watery with malt, raspberry and liquorice. Incredibly intense and herbal. Short and mouth-wateringly bitter but the malt extract and malty fruit lingers. Lovely chocolaty after-taste with hints of cherries. It’s definitely interesting and I have to say that the finish is the most enjoyable part.
Blue Monkey ‘Guerrilla’s of the Grist’ English Single Malt Spirit 40%
Batch BM001 / Re-Tasted: Aug 2017
Pungent aromas that float somewhere between an earthy fruit eaux-de-vie and a marc. Black cherry, chocolate malt, earth and straw notes follow.
Full and stouty on the palate with chocolate malt and blackcherry eaux-de-vie notes. Very malty and chocolaty middle with a very straw-like character. Long and continuing in the chocolate-malt theme along with hits of biscuits, straw and marc-like spirit. Definitely unusual!
