Tasting Notes

The bottle that invented the single-barrel category and still trades largely on its horse-stopper cork and its scarcity. The whiskey itself is genuinely good — honeyed and citrus-led with nutmeg spice — but at secondary prices you are paying for the bottle as much as the pour.

Nose

vanilla, citrus, dried orange, light caramel

Palate

honey, baking spice, nutmeg, soft oak

Finish

medium, creamy, gently spiced

Best enjoyed neat, rocks.
