Note: Difficult to find further information on this release. There are photo's of 2 different styles of packaging as well as one matching pack with engraving of a single cask, cask strength variant. The tasting note below is for the 40% abv version.

 

Nose: Vibrant oak notes with a rich vanilla toffee aroma.  Fresh summer fruits intensity and a delicate floral character develop with time.

Taste: On the palate, a wood spiciness from the sherry butts shines through, complemented by layers of creamy vanilla from the bourbon barrels and rich flavours of caramelised fruits. Beautifully soft and sweet with a velvety texture and mouth coating oily tannins.

Finish: Velvety, long, memorable and with a rewarding sweetness.
