The Ghost Series 23b Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still Single Cask (No. HG0287), 64%

Bourbon cask-matured single grain made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, the nose has a sweet artificial fruitiness with kumquat, new putty, and a spritz of neroli. Given the strength, dilution is a must to unlock a delightful composition of apricot, Creamsicle, and poached pear. These flavors glide into milk chocolate pudding, vanilla seed, and banana bread with a mouth-coating chocolaty finish. (Release date: 2/25; 200 bottles worldwide)
