Cask No. 46.121 Bourbon liquorice stick and orange cocktail

liquorice stick and orange cocktail bitters on lime jelly

The nose neat had the sweet dimension of lemon bonbons

After 17 years of aging in ex-Oloroso butts

old tobacco

A tiny tear drop of water and aromas of Madagascan vanilla beans

Cask No. 46.121 Bourbon liquorice stick and orange cocktailA rather snazzy nose at first, full of spiced vanilla cake, white miso, green pepper, limoncello mixed with tonic water and a light, easy earthiness. Some grassy olive oil and fruit salad chewy sweets as well. With water we noted lime curd, elderflower cordial, mossy tree bark and cinnamon pastries. The neat palate was very easy going and yet possessed a nicely assertive nibble of white pepper and caraway. Some pineapple juice in the background too.
