Paul John Classic Select Cask, 55.2%

Aromas of stewed fruit, bran muffins, and apple peel greet the nose, with hints of chocolate and grilled bacon fat. At cask strength, it’s a warming dram with apple pie, cinnamon, honey, and chocolate. Add a dash of water to coax out juicy fruit, dried mango, bitter chocolate, and coffee. The finish is lengthy, with spiced fruits.
