Tasting Notes
It's the story of a polished mahogany table, bearing rum and raisin chocolate, cortado coffee and ginger beer. The palate has no-choke smoke, smooth and easy drinking; with various dried fruits, treacle, orange zest and peppered smoked mackerel. Adding water transports the table to the seaside, now with more complex resonances, marzipan and roasted nuts, orange soda and apricot, clafoutis, rose petals and pot-pourri. The palate now black pudding with apple sauce, cuba libre with orange slices and Christmas pudding sprinkled with crushed pepper and coal dust. After 12 years in ex-bourbon wood, we transferred this into a first-fill, American oak, PX hogshead.
