Description
The first ever Diageo Special Release of Grain whisky! Aged for three years in refill casks, it was then split up into equal parts and aged in either American oak Bodega casks, new charred European oak casks, or first fill American oak Bourbon barrels! The result is delicious! Nose: A lovely mix of bourbon spices, plum wine and black pepper. Some almost rum-like aromas conjuring up hints of cinnamon and apple crumble. Definitely a grain whisky, but one with a fantastic pedigree.Palate: A fabulous palate that tastes really similar to a rye whiskey. Hints of liquorice too, and apple pips, burnt brown sugar and maybe a little apple pastry, but overall rye whiskey is definitely brought to mind. Finish: Long, spicy finish with dark fruit and almond.
