Tasting Notes
Butter melted into toasted malt loaf before marmalade was spread like orange tarmac on a highway to charred mango, mixed spices and forests of resinous exotic woods. Motorways of marzipan meandered through black forest gâteau with chocolate sauce as ground cinnamon and nutmeg blew in the breeze. Adding water plotted a scenic route along streets of strawberry liqueur lined by paths of plums, nectarines and fresh figs. The journey was a smooth ride as lumps of lime were softened by orange chocolate, gooey cakes and fragrant tobacco. After 13 years in a bourbon hogshead we transferred this to a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.
