Fonseca No.1 - UTL NOV 17 (JBWP2RW)

[david9985]

Draw was open but with some resistance. Paired with first a beer and then 12y/o Bowmore single malt.

It opened with a slight sweetness but no other real defining flavours. Maybe there was a vegetal edge to it but there was also a bit of harshness that I wasn't expecting.

There wasn't much evolution, except that the second third had the least of the harshness, so was the most enjoyable third.

It had enough about it to smoke for around an hour before I gave up. Not having too much joy with this box though there have been a couple that were better than this.

Burn was good and smoke output was very high. Hard to score it more than 80 though, due to the harshness and lack of flavour!

The company, the beer and the whisky much more enjoyable than the Fonseca on this occasion!

Nice review.
I haven't had any harshness with the few young ones i have had recently and they were plenty flavorful.

Surprised yours was bad with a little age on it
