On the neat nose we could have been forgiven for thinking it was a rum. The scent of green herbs, fruits soaked in spiced rum, and rum and raisin chocolate were only offset by Atholl brose, that Scottish drink mixing oatmeal brose, honey and whisky. The wealth of fresh mint on the palate was soon overwhelmed by a Jamaican jerk seasoning. We added water, gave it time to breathe, and were rewarded by the fresh herbal scent of marjoram and oregano next to sweet cherries in spiced syrup. To taste, we found spiced rum coffee with butterscotch whipped cream. Following 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a first fill French oak barrique that had previously matured Jamaican rum.
