Batch 29 Caramel cascade (Heresy)

Description

From the team

Following the release of our Shimmering Silk small batch earlier this year, we have once again teamed up with our friends at Dunville’s Irish Whiskey to create another very special Society release. This time we explore the delights of Palo Cortado sherry seasoned casks, a curious wine that benefits from both biological and oxidative aging. I know those who have been keeping an eye on international releases have been waiting for this one, any anyone who is a fan of incredible Irish whiskey should be excited by this one, too! Caramelised walnuts, stewed apples, and serrano ham are among the delightful flavours oozing from this liquid. Bottled at an approachable 50% ABV (as our Heresy releases typically are), this one will be popular!

Tasting Panel notes

Enticing wafts of varnish, exotic woods, and supple leather jigged around an old wine cellar, occasionally glancing off baked banana and oily serrano ham. At the first sip, honey and treacle cascaded like liquid gold, meandering between the venerable bottles of vintage wine. A heavenly symphony of stewed apples and ripe mango followed behind, harmonising with caramelised walnuts and a hint of nutmeg. Reduction delivered a waterfall of chocolate and cherry liqueur that tumbled over the hazelnut-spread floor of the cellar, bringing with it delicate petals and rosehips. Nut brittle, coffee and caramel now gathered in a cosy embrace with mint leaves, plums and lavender honey, creating a lush, layered tapestry of delight.
