Cask No. 64.158

A rich cocktail met our noses; fruit jellies, ranging from red apple to pear and bramble to guava, were joined by a slice of custard tart topped with mango and caramel. The palate was bright and chocolatey in equal measure, laced with vanilla, coffee syrup and orange, and followed by a spiced blackcurrant jam. Water focused the nose and the palate towards buttered digestive biscuits, salted caramel, peanut butter and chocolate sauce. After 12 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first-fill PX ex-bodega barrique for the remainder of its maturation.
