Precious Liquors 2006 Foursquare Broken Trident 16-Year

7,5:On the nose, the first impression we get is roasted and very alcoholic. It needs time to settle a bit when we notice dried fruits, nuts, cocoa and medicinal notes, that linger from our first impression. We are going towards meaty, resinous, sap notes, through come finally real Bajan notes with bourbon yellow fruits, woodiness, butterscotch, some tropical fruits, citrus and sweet spices, perhaps some coconut. But just for a while, when weird umami/Maggi notes cover that temporary deliciousness. We are currently on the dark side... Chocolate and nougat come much later, after resting. Wild, uncontrollable nose.
7,2:On the palate, the first attack is very opposite of the nose, as it is light and dry with citrus, dried currants, yellow fruits, toasted wood and dried fruits, some spices, mixed with some roasted, medicinal, burnt notes. It becomes quite tanninic.Not very Bajan right now. Luckily some bourbon, overripe fruits join to neutralize quite unpleasant tannins. As we are hit by resinous, meaty/umami notes, as on the nose, but they are not very tempting. Finally we come to more Bajan side with coconut, vanilla, warm baking spices, fruits, caramelized with confectionery and some musty/ashy notes... Again, wild, wild West...
7,5:The finish is tastier, long, at first very dry and woody with dried fruits, the wood becomes tastier, toasted, also the coconut with some caramel and warm with sweet spices.
Not worthy very much, expected much more, very wild with unpleasant edges.... Needs long rest for taming.
