SPIRIT NOTES
This was transferred from an oloroso butt into a first fill American oak PX butt after 28 years. Amazingly, the sherry influence is not overstated – it seemed to occupy 'a day in the life' (happy version); a breakfast of mango slices, cinnamon buns and coffee, then to work – pencil case and writing bureau (on waxed parquet flooring). A walk in the country (earthy, distant wood smoke) to have tea with a friend. After dinner an opulent dessert (chocolate cake, pear frangipane tart) rounded off with a sip of calvados and a rummage in the tobacco pouch. Not a bad day, all in all. Night night.
