tobacco and raisins soaked in cognac
On the nose neat we immediately had images of peaches poached in bourbon
Rich and slightly naughty
After reduction we sat in our favourite armchairs
Cask No. 24.162 Peated putty and limestoneWe found this one to be extremely focussed on freshly baked brown breads, savoury pastries, meat pies, mutton stock, redcurrant gravy and toasted wood spices. Meaty, thick, unctuous and deeply alluring. Water turned it into hot Ribena! Then mad notes of mulled Buckfast, passion flowers, strawberry laces, mineral oils, hessian and thick, musty dunnage earthiness. The neat palate was rich with hardwood resins and an immense, assertive peppery spiciness.
