Nose:instead of the usual biscuit aroma,we now get moist cake,and my word is it fruity and spicy!love the freshly waxed oak floor too.Brain-explodingly complex and multi-layered with one of the most intriguing sherry style bourbon style marriages on the market.
Taste:Cracking delivery and entirely unique in form the structure is decidely oak.based,but acts as no more than a skeleton from which the juicy sultana and spices drape.salivating,too as the barley kicks in powerfully.But the liquorice orangey-honeycomb bourbon theme quietly shapes the flavour profile,the soices pulse and glow.
Finish:Quite a chunk of natural caramel quietens the more exuberant characteristics,long and elegant.
