Tasting Notes
-
Nose: “Rich, indulgent and seductively perfumed. Dark fruit cake laced with ginger, hints of walnuts, cocoa nibs and apple crumble.”
-
Palate: “Complex and creamy with wood spice balanced by a backdrop of manuka honey, candied pecans, and Christmas cake.”
-
Finish: “Bold and lingering with dark fruits and chocolate.”
Why It Stands Out
-
Galáxia is positioned as the ultimate expression in the Whiskymaker’s Editions series, weaving together flavour elements from earlier releases.
-
Showcases the distillery’s innovative approach to maturation: combining sherry-seasoned oak, bourbon barrels and the élevage method (carefully orchestrating cask interactions).
-
The high ABV, rich flavour profile and limited nature make it appealing both for enthusiasts and collectors.
Serving & Enjoyment Tips
-
Serve neat in a tulip glass to appreciate the aroma and flavour depth.
-
Optionally, add a few drops of water to open aromas of fruit cake and spice.
-
Pair with desserts (dark chocolate, fruitcake) or rich cheeses to complement the character.
-
Store upright, away from light and strong odours to preserve quality.
