The Horizon is a blend of 10yo grain and single malt whiskeys, matured in ex-Bourbon casks before a finishing period in Barbados rums casks. The nose initially was a not unpleasant mixture of paint and something that reminded me of a science lab (methylated spirits perhaps?). After some time and on subsequent nosing it was easy to pick out lemon and peach. I’m generally not a fan of a rum-finished whiskey as I find that it becomes overly sugary for my tastes (Tullamore DEW XO Caribbean Rum Cask for example). However, while sweet, this retains a peppery kick on the palate and some orange zest and lemon tartness that pulls the needle back from the red zone on the sugar dial. Definitely one I’d try again.
