I challenge thee ... to a duel!

At first we got initial notes of Jamaica ginger cake, cedarwood cigar boxes, liquorice, pipe tobacco and damp dunnage funkiness. We also found some sleek aromas of coconut husks, slightly salty old sherry vibes and fruit loaf. With water, the damp, earthy and mulch cellar notes were enhanced, along with further aromas of graphite oil, crushed walnuts and petrichor. The neat palate opened with big flavours of walnut wine, old furniture and leather – like being slapped in the chops with an old leather driving glove. With water we found dates in syrup, brown bread spread with treacle and more notes of tobacco laced with eucalyptus. Matured for 12 years in a bourbon hogshead, this was then transferred to a first fill Spanish oak oloroso sherry hogshead.
