Description

An air of understated elegance, a subtle tropical floral scent with a very soft richness like a Hawaiian lei garland presented to us as a symbol of affection. On the palate, like a vintage pipe pouch made of leather in a rustic Kodiak brown oil finish, holding well-used pipes and a variety of tobacco next to all the other utensils. With a drop of water, a lovely burst of sweetness - a frangipani tree in full bloom and to taste now like a hummus dip served with pitas. After 27 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, this whisky was transferred into a 2nd fill toasted oak hogshead for the remainder of its maturation. This toasted cask was previously used to mature Society cask 35.181.
