Product details
The 2019 release begins a journey of discovery, celebrating the artistry of hand-selected sherry-seasoned oak casks and the harmony they bring to a finely crafted creation. Four distinct cask types are skillfully combined: European and American sherry-seasoned casks and hogsheads, together with American oak bourbon casks. This meticulous blending process highlights the depth and character that emerges from time, wood, and careful selection, resulting in a layered expression of natural richness, elegance, and refined complexity. Each component contributes to a balanced composition where tradition meets exploration, offering a sensory experience that invites curiosity and appreciation.
On the senses, it presents a warm, sun-ripened barley hue and an inviting aroma of dried fruits, cinnamon, and ginger, accented by honeyed sweetness, fresh citrus, and polished oak. The palate is lightly spiced, with whispers of cardamom and sweet oak weaving seamlessly into the overall richness. A medium, sweet finish lingers with notes of dried fruits and citrus, leaving a harmonious, satisfying impression. The result is a multi-dimensional experience that is both approachable and sophisticated, encouraging a slow, contemplative enjoyment.
