TWO BOBS Single Barrel 13 years old 63,6%


Nose:
Freshly sawn off wooden planks interlaced with walnuts and raisins.




Palate:
Marmalade thick. Toasty oak on top accompanied by tobacco and more raisins.




Finish:
Overripe cherries splashes down on a bed of dry and complex oak. Marvellous!


Comment:
From the Barton distillery in Bardstown.Distilled in June 1994, bottled in August 2007 by Ian Macleod. This easily outshines the distillery´s own premium brand, Ridgemont Reserve. Only 228 bottles made. May we ask for a rerun, please?

Rating: 9/10
