Tasting Notes
Tácnbora ex-Islay Cask Finished is a remarkable blend crafted by Ad Gefrin, a northerly English distillery known for its exceptional whiskies. This limited release is a harmonious fusion of Scottish and Irish malt and grain whiskies, meticulously aged in a combination of bourbon, virgin American oak, and oloroso casks. To elevate the experience, a small batch undergoes a final six-month maturation in Islay whisky casks, imparting a subtle, smoky essence that dances across the palate. The nose captivates with notes of digestive biscuits, bonfire smoke, creme caramel, and orchard fruit, while the palate unveils a symphony of flavors ranging from orange peel and oak char to toffee apple, vanilla, peanuts, and a whisper of peat. The finish lingers with nutty and slightly smoky accents, leaving a lasting impression that invites contemplation and savoring. With approximately 1600 bottles filled at a robust 56.7% ABV, this whisky is a true connoisseur's delight, celebrating the art of blending and the harmonious interplay of diverse cask influences.
