About Griffinistically unusual: Our August Bottle of the Month is an intriguing one! The fresh and floral distillate is treated to a fascinating maturation – from ex-bourbon barrel to another barrel that previously contained peated whisky AND Jamaican rum. Settle in for a wild ride!

Tasting Panel Note: A griffinistically unusual nose ofJamaican beach: chilli and lemon on barbecued fish, charred pineapple, flambéed banana and a slug of funky rum. The sharp, astringent palate had pineapple, lemon and blackcurrant, liquorice, charred oak and traces of tarry rope – and maybe a cigar doused in a piña colada glass. The reduced nose was a magic carpet ride above scents of jasmine, vanilla and pineapple hookah smoke. Some curiosities arrived on the palate – burning seaweed, rum and raisin fudge, dried mango, extra strong mints and licking a bunsen burner tube. After nine years, this went from a bourbon barrel into another barrel, ex-peaty AND ex-Jamaican rum.
