Tasting Notes
Does exactly what it says on the tin, with aromas of oak, leather, sweet tobacco, marzipan and mulled wine, as well as figgy bread and butter pudding. On the palate, spice emerged quickly in the form of a dark, creamy, spiced rum caramel sauce and spiced baked figs with ginger mascarpone. After reduction we lit a cigar while, in the same room, someone was sanding down an old table, the tin of light oak wood stain open by the side. To taste, frozen wild berries poured over a vanilla blueberry ice cream and a natural black grape juice. Following 11 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill American oak oloroso hogshead.
