Product Description
This collection brings together two single casks from the same distillery, both distilled in 1994 and matured for 28 years in oloroso sherry butts before being additionally matured into first fill Pedro Ximénez casks – one American oak, the other Spanish.
Check out Cask No. 96.41: The 'Iberian'.
Tasting Notes
This was transferred from an oloroso butt into a first fill American oak PX butt after 28 years. Amazingly, the sherry influence is not overstated – it seemed to occupy ‘a day in the life’ (happy version); a breakfast of mango slices, cinnamon buns and coffee, then to work – pencil case and writing bureau (on waxed parquet flooring). A walk in the country (earthy, distant wood smoke) to have tea with a friend. After dinner an opulent dessert (chocolate cake, pear frangipane tart) rounded off with a sip of calvados and a rummage in the tobacco pouch. Not a bad day, all in all. Night night.
