Matured in a first fill Oloroso Sherry Puncheon, this is mahogany in color with a light bead. A deeply savory nose swimming with aromas of new welly boots, Marmite, beef jus, star anise, soy and oyster sauces, Black Forest gâteaux and rich game. The palate continues with fig chutney, Soreen malt loaf, licorice, green tea, beef jerky, and kicap manis. An almost edible finish, not for the faint hearted. This is heady, chunky stuff!

Drawn from a first-fill American Oak ex-Bourbon Barrel, the color of Chardonnay and a moderate bead. On the nose we found brandy butter, orange peel, rice pudding, marmalade, barley sugar, and papaya. The palate is initially sweet with sugared almonds, fruit cocktail juice, coconut tray bake, hazelnuts. A multi-layered dram with lovely confectionary notes.
