14 years old, distilled 2nd November 2001, 60.2% abv, First-Fill Ex-Bourbon Barrel, 186 bottles

The nose has honey, peanuts and cornflakes. The mouthfeel is thin with no cling. The body has soft caramel, honey and hints of fruits of the forest. The finish is sweet - caramel and honey.

Water brings out thick whorling that settles quickly into lasting mottling. The nose gains more berries and some vanilla. The body gains more of the honey and fruits. The finish is unchanged.

A great dessert dram...
