Second go. First one went to booze heaven. Intrigued I was, satisfied I am. Not a world changer but a successful experiment at a reasonable price. I won't bore you with the long backstory of how the casks were made but I can confirm they made an appreciable difference to the end result, bring a forest fresh air leafy spruce note. So. Imbibing time. Caramel. Tart fruit, maybe cooking apples. Some tannins (from the casks I'd guess plus the bourbon casks and white oak). Nuts or perhaps more wood. A definite spice note. A touch of vanilla and cream lurked far in the background. To finish is a tad short but mouth cleansing. This is an interesting drop but I feel it won't be a universal like. Which makes it worth trying!
