World Whiskey Society Double Barrel Finished Single Malt By Chip Tate, 51%

This one has a rustic nose, heavy with wine notes from its barrel finish, along with char, lemon peel, and brûléed key lime tart. The palate is spicy, but also notably delicate and smooth for its proof, with red fruit from the wine barrel quite present. The finish is delicately spiced and long, with vanilla, light pepper, and good complexity. A bit heavy on the finish at times, but balanced; a very good dram.
