Bushmills 2013 Private Reserve Series 10 year old Moscatel Cask, 48.5%

The first moscatel finish in the series follows an initial maturation in bourbon and sherry casks. Its delicate aromas are spellbinding: dried flowers, rose water, lemon zest, and bergamot oil. It’s vibrant and fruity to taste, with vanilla, candied citrus, peach, apple, fresh apricot, lemon zest, and orange blossom honey. Drying and restrained on the finish, with star fruit, olive oil, and citrus. (Release date: 2/25)
