Bushmills 10 year old Private Reserve Plum Brandy Barrel Finished, 46%

Beautifully light blond in color, with a nose that offers plentiful citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, melding with sweetness from the oak-aging influence. The plum brandy barrel shines on the palate, with light soapiness, lemon pie, and stone fruit, accented by jalapeño pepper spice. Lovely vanilla and more sherried-like soapiness on the finish, concluding with crème brûlée, powdered sugar, and lingering hints of pepper spice.
