Speyburn Bourbon Cask, 40%

At first, a stone fruit symphony, as sliced apricot and Dole fruit cup emerge from the glass. These fruity aromas are interwoven with drying notes of barrel char, sawdust, paper bag, and sweet vanilla cream. The palate is light on its feet, but gets a kick from peppery heat, before softening to flavors of frosted vanilla cupcake and chai latte. Notes of grilled pineapple make for an intriguing finish, buoyed by more pepper, cigar ash, and vanilla soft serve.
