Tasting Notes – Belgian Owl Fifty Edition Appearance: Deep amber with warm mahogany highlights and a viscous, lingering leg. Nose: Generous aromas of vanilla custard, caramelised toffee and toasted almonds, layered with ripe figs, dark raisins and a soft sherry sweetness. Palate: Full and rounded texture; rich caramel and brown sugar lead, followed by stewed plum, dried fig and a hint of orange peel. Subtle oak spice and nutty undertones support the sweetness. Finish: Warm, long and persistent — lingering dried fruit and gentle oak tannins with a final echo of molasses and toasted almond. Overall: A decadent, well‑balanced expression that marries bourbon‑matured brightness with the opulent, dessert‑style character of Pedro Ximénez finish. Food Pairing Dark chocolate and salted caramel — echoes the whisky’s toffee and cocoa notes. Blue cheese or aged Gouda — contrasts the PX sweetness with savory depth. Dried fruit compote or fig tart — mirrors the plum and fig character. Roasted nuts and spiced nuts — highlight the almond and toasted notes.
