Cask No. 7.80 Dapper Dan meets Holly Hunter
22 years old; refill bourbon barrel; 51.4%abv
The nose glides from paint to sensual exotic fruits (cherry, mango, blackcurrant, jelly beans) plus toffee and geranium; more perfumed and herbal with water. The palate boasts espresso dregs, tobacco, cinnamon, orange, perfume, leather and waxed jackets.

Cask No. 59.43 Caramel swirl ice cream
30th Anniversary Bottling!
29 years old; refill bourbon hogshead; 56.4%abv
LIMIT ONE BOTTLE PER MEMBER
Initially newly varnished wood developing quickly into fruity and sweet aromas of honey glazed cherries, spun sugar and vanilla biscuits. The taste is that of Cherry Coke. With water fragrant pine needles, cinnamon bark, strong black tea and vanilla ice cream with caramel swirl.

Cask No. 72.24 A promise of sophisticated desserts
8 years old; ex-white wine hogshead; 60.9%abv
Richly evocative – the nose delivers mocha, balsamico, sticky honey cake and Black Forest gateau. The palate has treacle, cola cubes and the promise of sophisticated desserts – tiramisu with crushed nuts, creme brulee, coffee-flavoured chocolate, sticky dates, golden meringues…

Cask No. G5.7 All day American breakfast
19 years old; refill bourbon hogshead; 64.6%abv
Beeswax, tangerines, eucalyptus and cardamom on the nose. The taste is sugar on caraway bread and waxy like candle dipping just before Christmas. With water, pancakes with maple syrup and eggs sunny-side up. The taste now velvety, orange and vanilla oil, nut brittle and cornbread.

Cask No. 71.37 An assignation in a boudoir
14 years old; refill sherry gorda; 57.9%abv
Creme brulee, mandarin fondant chocolates, Russian caramels; satin and velvet swags, soft leather and polished furniture, faded roses. A sweet taste with Chocolate Creams and champagne truffles; a hint of sulphur with water, and a fizzy effect on the tongue.

Cask No. 4.171 Perfumed and sultry
21 years old; refill bourbon hogshead; 53.7%abv
We were transported to an Irish lochside with pebbles, seaweed and a fresh salty breeze. The taste enhanced the seaweed with salt flakes, ash flecks and masses of umami. A most savoury dram! Water released lemon sponge and vanilla and the palate became sweet, drying, fresh and interesting.

Cask No. 29.129 Leather and lime in a smoky room
22 years old; refill sherry butt; 55.1%abv
In a musky room a smoking jacket drapes over a leather armchair by an open fire. Cigar smoke lingers with smoked mackerel skins. The palate is ashy with tobacco but balanced with lime marmalade. Nutty and peppery with sweet smoke when water is added.
