Tasting Notes
Bottle limited to 2 per member
The nose fidgeted with rice pudding, semolina, custard laced with dessert wine, strawberry jam and freshly sawn oak. Also, barley sugars, sun-warmed straw and rain-dampened forest. A little water and spearmint chewing gum emerged, along with pine sap and fragrant acetone. Further strawberry notes like strawberry laces and tarts. Also some nibbling wood spice. The mouth was powerful on arrival, full of cinnamon custard, star anise, tooth-coating sugars, foamy banana sweets and granola. With water it became more tropical with pineapple sherbet and coconut water, lemon bonbons and molten pear drops. Previously in a bourbon barrel for 11 years before being transferred to a second fill HTMC hogshead.
