SPIRIT NOTES
Unreduced we went back to bed to feast upon popcorn, hot dogs, toasted biscuits, blackcurrant jellies and sweet liquorice washed down with honeyed apple tea with a hint of sweet brine. After reduction we took a dose of blackcurrant cough lozenges as we sipped on gunpowder green tea. Later after a mouth-drying sauna built with freshly sawed timber there was peppery peat in the air as we snacked on walnuts and hazelnuts. This was matured first in a Bourbon Hogshead for 11 years before being moved to a first fill American oak PX cask.
