Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: decadent, creamy, and fruity with subtle spice; creamed honey, clotted cream, and creme brule; orange pith, dried apricot, and honey dew melon; nutty and toasty with almond brittle.

Palate: creamy, sweet, and fruity with juicy malt; a base of buttery toasted oak with decadent spices; more clotted cream, creme brule, and creamed honey; the fruits start in the citrus/orchard range, but evolve into more tropical ones like green mango and pineapple; Earl Grey Tea icecream and toasted marshmallows to round things out; sliced ginger and cinnamon hearts.

Finish: warming, spicy, and toasty, the finish is long, coating the palate with fading fruits and sweet creamy treats.

Comment: bottled just shy of a quarter century in fresh Bourbon, this whisky is bright and lively with a creamy backbone and loads of fruit tones; a beautiful cask! 

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Honeyed almond and molasses in tonka bean syrup, with raisin ice cream
and bitter orange.

Palate: Sun dried raisin, vanilla and coconut ice, with dark manuka honey, orange
and lemon.
