From sherry casks and bourbon barrels. This one too was 'unhurried Since 1833' but I'm asking, isn't that starting to feel a little long? (Ed: S., oh please!) The first and the second batches (2013 and 2014) have been my favourite. BTW, this #008 comes with a new livery. Colour: light gold. Nose: a little raw, on porridge and muesli, with touches of rubber, stems, apple peelings, cider, a little muscovado sugar, wisteria, scones… Rather all-natural, with rather minimal sherry impact. With water: gets almondy and a little mentholy. Cedar wood, some patchouli and some beedis. Peace, love! Mouth (neat): close to the barley, with good citrus and other acidic fruits, citrons, Seville oranges, then a little caramel and indeed touches of fresh sherry. Some pepper. With water: on citrus and caramel, some kind of lemony chilli – I suppose that does exist – and walnut wine. Finish: long, rather on toasted bread, pecan pie, toffee, chocolate… Some butterscotch in the aftertaste. Comments: a pretty good batch, I would say. Plays well with H2O.
