This is a new addition to the brand's permanent line. Officially known as the 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve, it's aged for a full 14 years in typical ex-bourbon casks used in the Scotch industry. It's then transferred to be finished in new heavily-charred American oak barrels from Louisville's prominent Kelvin Cooperage, with the intention of imparting more of those deep bourbon qualities into a single malt.

Tasting Notes
"The nose brings you in with vanilla, toffee and caramel. There's also oak and spice, and fresh, sweet apples. The palate is smooth and layered, offering a deep toffee taste, with vanilla, char and molasses, as well as a background of baking spices and fruits. The finish is drier and oakier, moderate in length and warming, leaving you with final notes of semi-sweet chocolate. It's an easy-sipper that does indeed bring more bourbon-esque qualities to the single malt realm."
