First came a toasted smug called Yin followed by a hoppy fella called Yang. Let me introduce you to Auld Yin – a wrinkly more experienced take on youngster Yin. 9 months in the company of an insightful, complex whiskey cask made a pretty interesting spin on this imperial tajii taste adventure. Aye!

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours damn brown/black with a dark tan bubbly/creamy head. Aroma is oaky, but more vinous than bourbon. Light sour notes in the aroma. Full bodied. Flavor is dark fruit, oak, vanilla, but I can’t say bourbon, but surely not oversmoked single malt. It’s just very flavorful. Quite whiskey, tho what kind of whiskey? Maybe a light Canadian! Very flavorful in a medium whiskey way. Brilliant.
