Bourbon
We snapped up a superb batch of single grain Irish whiskey here for our exclusive Master of Malt collection. Distilled in 2011, the whiskey spent eight years maturing, initially in a bourbon barrel and finishing in a refill barrel. There are just 86 bottles of this one, at a robust 60% ABV.

Lime peels, a touch of pith, pepper, dried herbs, cedar, pancake batter, fresh oak and a touch of nutmeg.
A soft opening with oily, melted butter quickly leads to warming layers of candied root ginger and green peppercorns. The strength certainly shows, while dried goji berries, creamy vanilla, and fresh oak spice nestle in the depths.
Those delicate berry notes continue with hints of tangy freeze-dried raspberry, green apple, and notes of soft marshmallow, blanketed with a tangle of fiery spice and silky clotted cream.
