ABK6 Extra is a limousin oak cask that has been aged for decades. This comes through in the golden color and the rich experience on the nose accompanied by a rich/robust lasting finish that will leave you wanting more. The nose—is complex and wonderful mix of woody cedar, sweet stone fruits—think apricot/tangerines—with a subtle mix of vanilla hidden deep within the delightful elegant aromas. The taste—a symphony of flavors that hit you at different levels, first a noticeable fruit influence of tangerine/apricot, big spicy cinnamon-esque follow in mid-palate which is immediately followed by a woody cedar/pine taste that slowly develops in the finish with more fruit notes citrus and lasting woodsy cedar like influence. At moments, my palate forgot that I wasn’t actively tasting—the lingering finish set my tastebuds alight create a sweet build up of saliva (drool, heh). The finish is long lasting and complex and proves worth a visit, while the drink maintained its consistency throughout you would definitely need multiple visits to truly appreciate—and while the price is not budget friendly, it proves worth every single penny.
