2013 Bottle [Bourbon Barrel Aged] Super crisp and hazy copper coloured body with a bright bronze glow and a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of alcohol, bourbon, malt, peat, grain and a dose of hay with some funk and a light touch of caramelised sugars towards the end - quite strong, especially in the bourbon department. Medium to perhaps Full-bodied; Strong, dense malty and peaty flavours with a lot of depth from the bourbon and alcohol notes with a light dose of caramelised sugars and pure toffee on the finish, with perhaps a dash of fruits as well that show more of a pitted fruit and apple flavour. Aftertaste shows the bourbon, alcohol and peat notes by far the strongest with a noticeable set of vanilla and dry oak right behind, but the punch and potency from the grain is very noticeable, but in a good way. The finish is very smooth and incredibly subtle given the complexities and depth/alcohol involved with this one - the aging has done tremendously here and perhaps an amazing time to drink this one!
