Noahs Mill - Bourbon
As ever, this expression is bottled at a very generous 57.2% ABV - a drop of watch does help bring some of the rich fruity notes to the fore.
Nose: Heavy treacle and vanilla, dusted with plenty of cinnamon.
Palate: Ginger, black pepper, honey-drizzled sponge cake and cooked pear.
Finish: Honey-roasted nuts, sharp green apple, another kick of pepper.
