Pareto (Whisky BA) is a monumental wee heavy aged to perfection in Macallan whisky barrels for 12 months. Dry and delicious. Decadent caramel sweetness is cut with oak and fruity whisky notes. Luscious brew suitable for slow sipping.

Bottle from Beerdome. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, oak, whiskey, toffee, alcohol, vinous notes, berries, roast, some chocolate, hint of port and/or red wine. Flavour is medium sweet with some bitterness and booze. Body is medium to full. There's certainly whiskey here but I didn't expect to encounter berries and vinous notes in this one. It's almost as if their Port BA went through an additional Whiskey barrel aging.

Flavour is caramel, chocolate, caramel, some alcohol and mild figs to it. Ripe bananas, mild smoke and some slight spiciness as well. Quite complex. Good sipper.

Plus qu'à la recherche du bon, c'est à la recherche du beau qui est notre moteur, nous, zythologues de tous horizons. Et donc, en plus d'être excellente cette Pareto de Sori est belle. Belle par sa ligne élancée, belle par ses arômes brillants, belle par son équilibre et par son caractère. Cette Wee-Heavy vieilli en fût de Maccalan a toutes mes qualités et même ce petit plus d'âme qui vous feront passer un superbe moment que l'on se doit de partager. En verre nous sommes sur un joli brun limpide surmonté d'une mousse brune de 3 mm. Le nez nous met dans l'ambiance avec des arômes de whisky, de raisin, de caramel et de pomme. La dégustation est exceptionnelle, l'ensemble est vif, élancé, raffiné avec des arômes d'une très belle tension. Dès l'attaque, l'équilibre est parfait. Malt, amertume, alcool et sucre sont justement dosés. L'alcool reste chaud et brillant sans être agressif et avec un sucre qui n’est pas trop présent. De légères épices s'ajoutent aux arômes et se fondent sur de jolies variations. Belle présence en deuxième bouche sur une alliance aromatique que je trouve exceptionnelle. L’arrière-bouche est en deux temps, tout d'abord sur la fraîcheur pour ensuite être sur la chaleur de l'alcool. Final classe, élégant et raffiné. Merci à la brasserie Sori pour ce moment.

Light medium brown color. Sweet nose a bit simple. But it’s oxidized with lots of Port and whiskey.
