As minty dark chocolate and ginger nut biscuits merged with cherry fondant and exotic fruits, our journey so far had become clear. With a customary drop of water we embarked on a voyage into camphor and rum cream cakes with a few salt crystals on top. Flakes of toasted coconut now stuck to sticky caramel biscuits before arriving at what seemed like a destination of peach ice cream on stewed apple tart. However, it was only just the beginning. After spending 35 years in an ex-bourbon barrel this was transferred to a Spanish oak sherry hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1507\/7302\/files\/40Back_1.png?v=1698161455\" style=\"margin-right: 30px; margin-left: 30px; float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA allocation: 24 bottles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout Cask No. 12.79:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have been waiting four decades for \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCask No. 12.79 On the Road Again\u003c\/strong\u003e!
