Cask No. 68.124

This was dark and intense, like the first cup of campfire coffee with a fruit and nut chocolate bar after a cold night out wild camping. On the palate, rich bourbon flavours of maple syrup, star anise, treacle and the coffee turned into a creamy mocha. After reduction we found ground ginger, orange peel and browned butter next to savoury flavours of salty bacon and oily fries. To taste, there were plenty of figs, dates and plums but at the same time a lighter side as we discovered a slice of panettone served with a glass of Austrian chocolate liqueur. Following 12 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill American oak PX hogshead.
