All notes made after diluting from 60% bottling strength Very pale in colour, especially after adding water to dilute to approximately 40% Nose Orchard fruits like apples and pears, vanilla and spice. Honey, and cinnamon raisin oatmeal Palate Initial sweetness, immediately followed by an opposing bitterness. Almost reminiscent of Irish whisky flavors. Malty fullness spreading towards the back of the mouth, and the sides of the tongue. Spice is very forefront Finish Malty and some lingering oak towards the back of the mouth I'm having trouble deciding on a summary of this one because I'm not getting a wide range of flavors and not a very rich presence overall. Enjoyable nonetheless and the experience of filling it from the barrel definitely added to it!
