Continuing my Cotswolds series, I have a sample of their Bourbon cask that was bottled at 59.1% ABV. The nose is starts with powdered sugar dusted fried bananas, caramelized mangos, and vanilla creme brûlée then milk chocolate covered espresso beans, pipe tobacco and toasted coconut followed by sautéed apples, dehydrated apricots and candied orange peel that transitions to light baking spices and mild toasted oak with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with creamy tropical fruits, powdered sugar dusted fried bananas, dehydrated mangos, and vanilla Angel food cake then a spicy mocha, freshly lit pipe tobacco and toasted coconut followed by sautéed apples, mandarin oranges and morello cherry jam that transitions to light baking spices, black pepper and mild toasted oak with medium ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with creamy tropical fruits, morello cherry jam, dark chocolate covered coconut, black pepper, light baking spices and mildly bitter black tea. Another great dram from Cotswolds that those tropical fruits are dominant with creamy sweets but underscored by the bourbon cask that has added light earthy notes along with traditional bourbon citrus fruits that has a mild bitter spice that detracts from the experience but otherwise is well-balanced and drinks far easier than the proof suggests.
