Tasting Notes
After 13 years in ex-bourbon wood this was enhanced in a first fill American oak PX hogshead. The nose had fruit with leather undertones: black grapes, ice cream sundae with cherries, and blackcurrant jam on a treacle scone, all in a leather bag. The palate brings cola, pretzels, dried fruits and tobacco evoked a sunny afternoon on a cafe terrace. The reduced nose combined honey, golden syrup and cinder toffee sweetness with cinnamon and ginger cake with additional walnuts, black tea and roast ham. The taste now delivered sticky, cornflaky chocolate florentines and walnut fudge, with a finish of nicotine, raspberry pips, sour cherry and mulled wine.
