Cask No. 159.1

Smoke from smouldering coconut shells wafted through the branches of oak trees, bringing light notes of tobacco and leather. The fragrance of Japanese plum wine intermingled with espresso coffee, apricot pastries and spicy cloves. With a few drops of water from the bubbling spring, layers of sticky jam between vanilla sponge cake beckoned sweet butterscotch, while chocolate-coated nuts danced with tiramisu in an old coal skuttle. The finish was a shrine to complexity, a wondrous amalgamation of tamarind paste, tangy orange sponge, liquorice chocolate and freshly chopped dill.
