The brewers aged it in a mix of bourbon and cognac barrels for 18-30 months before blending it all together.
Tasting Notes
Expect every sip to overflow with hints of candied date, caramel, and toffee. Nuances of sweet brandy mingle with tones of oak and plum, with just a touch of warmth from the big 15% ABV coming through.

TCBW2025. Copper colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet fruits, malts, some toffee and mild cognac and oaked tones. Flavour is sweet fruits, figs, dates, some toffee, cognac, wood and mild bourbony vanilla and oaked tones. Burns a bit on the gums, but surprisingly drinkable for 15 % abv.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a tan smear. Aroma like a plummy guad with notes of bourbon and brandy. Full bodied. Not dry, but avoids sticky. Barely. Flavor is plum, brandy, darkish malt, and vanilla. Excellent flavor.
