There was a nose clearing freshness in the air of menthol and extra strong mints that mellowed to soft peaches, strawberries with cream and meringue with coconut milk. Then more tropical fruits… papaya, mango, tart pineapple and maple syrup with almonds all in an old leather bag. Water unveiled a peppery spiciness, lime pickle, salted margaritas and marmalade before evolving into milk chocolate buttons and flambéed banana with a twist of fresh orange. Following 23 years in an ex-Bourbon hogshead this was transferred to a virgin oak hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
