First Fill Bourbon Barrel 4359
Dist: Dec 2010 Btl: 2021
Tasted: Sept 2021
An intense, gritty and oaky nose. In fact it almost smell like tannic French oak. Hints of honeysuckle, vanilla, citrus, banana, apricot, salt, marzipan, malt, barley and more salt. It's robust and oaky but the spirit stands up to it well. Late earth and subtle peat, which is surprising considering the barley was peated to 50ppm..
Intense and oaky start to the palate, with again some almost French oak tannins. Apricot, apple, honeysuckle, malt, barkey, vanilla and toffee follows. The palate display more peat than thee nose suggests but the oak is really holding it in check. Earth, wood spice, tar, dark fruit and gritty tannins and peat on the middle. Masked, gritty, tannic, alcoholic and peaty finish, which is so, so salty, it almost sucks the moisture from your mouth. marzipan and vanilla after-taste.
Water makes the nose more restrained and emphasises the white fruit, lemon and fresh, coastal notes, less oak and less peat, but wonderfully vibrant. The palate is also softer, maltier and buscuitier. Again there's less oak and more youthful spirit character. It has a burly, fishy, Springbank-esque middle and a long, oily, cereal and subtly earthy finish.
