A blend of scotch and cherry brandy barrel-aged Adambiers, conditioned for an additional year on a bunch of dark cherries in a cognac barrel that most recently finished rye for a few months.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a tiny tan head. Aroma has plenty of woody barrels, some cognac, plenty of alcohol, and gentle tart cherries. Flavour has some cola, leather, cognac notes, a touch of tart cherries, and lots of wood. Quite hot but has good flavour complexity. Leathery and pretty cognac-y on the finish. Good stuff.

330mL bottle. Pours black with a minimal head. Lots of cherries, brandy, and cognac on the nose; dark brown sugars. Flavour has a ton of whiskey, brandy, cognac, dark cherries, some berries, chewy toffee base. Great barrel character, thick body. Very good.

Dark brown with a couple of bubbles. Cherry, vinous, lots of deep malt sugars and fruitiness. There’s interesting depth here. Big body on the base, but chaotic barrel character. I mean it’s good barrel character but definitely chaotic. Ultimately I think the treatment makes this.

14.16%. 330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with no head. Aromas of chocolate fudge, sweet bourbon and brandy, plus vanilla and slick roasted malts. Flavors of sweet apple brandy, chocolate syrup, vanilla and rich roasted malts. Warm finish with a hint of dark cherries. Very nice.

Poured from the tap. Dark brown with tiny beige head. Barrel character here is nice with a subdued cherry underlay. Good integration of the cherry.
