Tennessee Whisky Barrels impart a huge nose. Liquorice, orange rind, green apple, honeycomb and soft vanillas. Drops of water remove the pinch of alcohol, introducing burnt peanut butter with earthiness, banana, grainy brown sugar, lemon candy, sarsaparilla and extra vanillas and caramels.

All the good bits of fruity new make with a creamy mouthfeel that interacts with caramel, chocolate and a progressively intensifying oak as the barrel character returns with a sharp pineapple burst. Water adds rum and raisin, honeycomb, lemon flavoured cough drops.

Lingering spicy raisin notes and that delicious oily barley that remains unique to young whiskies linger. Water again enhances fruits here
