Distiller: Domaine Lous Pibous
Bottler: L’Encantada
Brand: L’Encantada
Selection: None – General Release
ABV: 47.9% ABV
Age: 27 Years
Nose: Heavy on the nose, woody, dark, cocoa, plums, figs, blackberry, tobacco, and pepper. It’s dark, deep, rich and powerful.
Taste: Rich on the palate, woody and heavy with some balsamic, orange peel, blackberry, honey and toffee.
Finish: Long finish, heavy and rich here and brooding. The power here definitely shows in the finish with gumdrop candies, blackberry, balsamic, tobacco and heavy oak.
Overall: It’s an oaky beast but you get everything you sign up for with Pibous with this pour and I”d expect nothing less. It’s darn good.
Thanks for reading!
