Description
PREPARATION
Distilled in a Scottish copper still and aged in first-fill American oak barrels that housed bourbon before being finished in PX sherry casks for over 12 months.
TASTING
View: Amber color.
Nose:
Very sweet. Initially it's all cream caramel, caramelized fruit sugars, wood sugar, caramel and fudge before some apple and peach appear. Over time, a charred 'bourbon' note with a nice powdery dryness.
Mouth:
Sweet and quite oily start. Although the alcohol causes a slight tingle on the tongue, the result is a nice weight on the midpalate. The dry character of the distillery is still there, but now there is depth to counteract it. The water slightly dismantles the different elements but adds a little dried mint. Deep, dark finish, with soft spices and persistent peat smoke.
