Maker’s 46 (47%, OB, +/- 2010)

Kentucky Bourbon Whisky Barrel Finished With Oak Staves. The nose is a light dusting of grains and floral notes backed with a very rich sweetness that is intoxicatingly good. There is also some fruit (more tree than berries) which adds to the whole heady experience. The taste is lashings and layers of complex flavours that roil over each other and the mind cannot keep up. Grain notes, sweetness, a little leather and bitter dark chocolate. Really very good. The finish is some black cracked pepper, cinnamon, clove, dark cold unsweetened tea and cedar planks. It goes on forever.

Fantastic.
