Description
This started out as two bourbon hogsheads of single malt Scotch whisky. One was transferred at 12 years old to a first-fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead, while the other was transferred at 13 years old to a first-fill American oak oloroso hogshead. The casks were then married together before bottling. The result gives a wonderful nose, combining geraniums and ginger, gooseberry and gorse, lemon curd and liquorice, poached pears, plum sauce and polished oak. The palate, with nice chewy textures, meanders from pineapple, pink grapefruit and gin-based fruit cup to brown sugar, blackcurrant jam and strawberry angel delight, with cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and pink antiseptic, fluoride-free toothpaste toothpaste to finish.
