Tried 2 awesome single casks. A 2019 French oak red wine cask for Astor wines at 55.4% abv and a 2020 American Oak Red Wine Cask for Drammers Club at 55.5% abv. Both mostly tasted similar even though the Astor Wines Cask pick was a bit spicer and more armagnac like while the Drammers Club cask pick was sweeter and more dessert wine like.
