From the Distillery
- “Cask #284 was bottled in partnership with The Jewish Whisky Company after being hand-selected by their team for their Single Cask Nation series. Bottles were available exclusively as part of their membership program.”
- “Flavor Profile: The nose offers warming peat, overripe bananas in brown sugar, kettle corn and burnt caramel over roasted peanuts. An oily entry leads to a honeyed and leathery palate with toffee apples, cola syrup and the burnt caramel of the nose turning to lingering smoke, ash and pine on the finish.”
- Release Number: 0021
From the Bottler
- “Color: Motor oil”
- “Nose: Peeling back a thick layer of warming peat (redolent of southern barbecue) reveals overripe bananas in brown sugar, fairground kettle corn, burnt caramel over roasted peanuts, and fried pickles”
- “Palate: Oily entry leads to a honeyed and leathery palate with toffee apples, cola syrup, and a continuation of the burnt caramel note from the nose”
- “Finish: While the smoke lingers on there remain notes of ash, pine, and browned butter”
Label Text
