Matured in bourbon, aced in ‘assorted wine casks’. Colour: rosé wine. Nose: very, very winey. Wine cellar, wine barrel, cassis liqueur, cooked strawberries and a mild mouldiness. Certainly not unpleasant but very far from my favourite style. Really smells of red wine, maybe more than any other wine finished whisky I ever tried. Mouth: spectacularly winey and grapey. Marc de Bourgogne, strawberry liqueur, crème de cassis. Finish: long, on the same notes. Comments: I think we’re closer to wine (or wine liqueurs, pousse-rapière, macvin and such) than to whisky here. Not that it’s not good stuff, mind you, it’s very well made but it’s been pushed to the limits of the concept in my view (and taste).
