Stewed fruit, soft oak, a touch of menthol, with notes of allspice and vanilla bean.
Boiled orange sweets, with hints of raspberry and cherry, as well as milk chocolate and butterscotch, with a background of charred oak.
Long, with a smattering of brown sugar and cinnamon.
Limited with around 3000 bottles expected in UK, a sublime bourbon at cask strength! Complex with long finish.... cherries, raspberries, vanilla, oak, milk chocolate, butterscotch, brown sugar - loads of spices..... I’m in heaven.
Simply fantastic !!
