Blue Hanger 26 year old 14th Edition, 45.6%

Drawn from six bourbon hogs- heads and one sherry butt, this has aromas of vanilla, panettone, pecan pie, dark maple syrup, milk chocolate, citrus peel, and cinnamon powder. It’s thick, with a glossy mouthfeel and layers of honeycomb, vanilla, caramel, sour apple candy, brown sugar, dried fruits, and baking spices. Waves of vanilla, cinnamon cookies, dried apple rings, and a hint of espresso on the finish. After more than a decade of no new expressions, this is a triumphant return to glory.
