| Review #529 |
This is
from a refill Bourbon barrel with the cask number 818390. Only 245 bottles were
made. Some spices is the first thing that hits my nose. Some alcohol, and
surprisingly, not very sweet. A bit of marzipan in the end.
Very sharp
at first in the taste. And peat! Is this peated? Probably not, but the cask
must previously have contained peated whisky! Some white fruits as well. The
finish is warm, long and full of vanilla. Still with hints of the peat and the
white fruits.
A young
cask strength grain whisky, matured in a cask previously held peated whisky
(not verified though) – that’s not something you come across everyday! I can
understand why they chose to bottle this cask! I will give this 81/100 (19/20/21/21).
