This opulent whisky, enriched by its finishing in cognac casks, inherits the legacy of its predecessor, the brighter Cask No. 16. It embodies the essence of an exclusive private club, offering a sophisticated sipping experience. Initially, it presents a symphony of cedary, leathery, and tobacco notes, reminiscent of old-world luxury. As you delve deeper, flavors of toffee and cherry from Beaujolais nouveau give way to a luscious blend of ripe red apples and dark, dusky fruit, complemented by hints of candied citrus peel and bitter almond skins, all gracefully underscored by oak undertones. The finish is punctuated by a lively interplay of gingery spice and white pepper, lingering over a backdrop of textured sandalwood. With its sumptuous, creamy body, this whisky is an indulgence to be savored.
