Carpathian Single Malt Spanish & Portuguese Wine Cask Collection Oloroso Cask, 46%

Price: $50 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick

Finished in a 500-liter oloroso sherry cask after a primary maturation in first-fil bourbon, the tantalizing aromas are layered with vanilla, caramel, cherry, mixed peel, sherried fruitcake, and subtle spices, showing a deft touch from the finishing vessel. On the palate there are warm fruits, red summer berries, citrus peel, cherry, raisin tea loaf, plum, and a consistent presence of clove and ground peppercorn.
