Bourbon Hogshead 900193/ Dist: May 2008 Btl: Jun 2017/ Tasted: Apr 2018
Deep, honeyed and heathery aromas. The nose also shows a malty maturity beyond its years with hints of warm vanilla, tea leaves, cigar leaf and creamy American oak. A lovely nose!
The palate is full and honeyed with plenty of sawdusty American oak to begin with. Hints of heather, liquorice, spice and dark chocolate appear. It’s a little on the woody side on the middle but that also brings the tobacco and tea leaf notes. Long and spicy with lingering sweet honey, bitter chocolate tannins and oak. A very impressively balanced palate.
