Cask 63.118 Cobblers and confectioners
The Panel stepped into a hybrid workshop as cobblers and confectioners crafted their next commissions; a place where leather and orange oil mingled in the air, accented with pear drops and sugar-roasted hazelnuts. The palate was treacle with coconut shavings, a tickle of mace, cinnamon buns and gingerbread. Water gave us kiln-dried firewood on the nose, joined by green apple, sugar snap peas and cinnamon honey. The palate finished with toasted raisins and treacle stirred into warm custard. After 12 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first fill, ex-bodega PX barrique for the remainder of its maturation.
Cask 11.46 Organised artistry
Hot buttered almond croissant, dunked in toffee sauce and encrusted with freeze dried cranberry & blackberry. The palate matched the nose, but with a considerable base note of wood sap and milled oak timber with a layer of lightly beechwood smoked blackcurrant jam on top. Mint followed. Water brought a leather satchel full of toffee, blackberry jam, a wedge of grapefruit and a splash of peach iced tea to the experience. After 4 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a second fill Oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
Cask 44.158 It’s all about the journey
One panellist envisaged a mechanic in his oily overalls eating a croissant, while another cleaned his well-used and well-loved walking boots after a full day’s hike. On the palate we had porridge with more than a drop of whisky and PX sherry, while we dipped marzipan into sherry cask-aged beer. After the addition of water, we lit a cigar and poured a glass of cloudy cider, reflecting on the dusty, hard and painful path taken that day and started to philosophise on finding purpose in solitude – the journey is the reward. Following 14 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead.
Cask 30.125 Honey lavender popcorn
Opening a new library book we found a hidden compartment stuffed with cinder toffee, waxy honeycomb pieces, and fig rolls wrapped in paper decorated with calligraphy ink. The palate was well rounded, a smooth and sweet lavender, honey, nutmeg and raisin purée, with marmalade atop custard tarts. Water offered peach cobbler and Dundee cake on the nose, while the palate gifted sultanas, lavender popcorn and cask char. After six years in a refill oloroso butt, we transferred this to a first fill ex-bodega oloroso butt for the remainder of its maturation.
