Tasting Notes
We blowtorched orange segments, sprinkled them with coal dust and topped with crushed petals before storing the concoction in granny's handbag. It tasted ashy on the palate, lightly carbolic, with a nod to the previous cask; nutty, with a luscious cinnamon too. Water took us to the harbourside, with a salinity drifting over scones topped with ancho peppers. The palate now delivered buttered burnt toast and singed orange peel, along with a mouthful of cloudy lemonade, and an ashy finish. After three years in an ex-bourbon barrel, we transferred this to a second fill bourbon ex-Islay barrel for the remainder of its maturation.
