From the team
Insane. This bottling is simply insane; a custom-toasted high-lactone American oak cask was built and treated specifically to our specs, another fine example of our strict and diverse cask program, and the relationships we’ve built with cooperages all over the world. The palate is like a New York baked cheesecake and crème brûlée desserts with fresh berries on top, with the added delight of a thick, mouth-coating texture. This is one of those truly rare releases that you have to taste to really believe. Available on May 1.
Tasting Panel notes
The perfume of an ice cream van, an old-timey school desk and papaya-infused linseed putty greeted us on the nose. The palate was awash with cherries and berries, banana and crème brûlée topped with chestnut paste and a silky bramble jelly. Water invited further bramble to the nose, along with shoe polish, beurre noisette, dark chocolate-coated marzipan and overripe bramley apples. The palate retained its silky, mouthcoating texture, enhanced by chantilly cream, mace and yet more bramble jelly, topped with salted caramel. After 14 years in a custom-toasted, high-lactone American oak cask, we transferred this to a first fill barrique for the remainder of its maturation.
