As the name suggests, The Bourbon Cask Element is matured in first fill and refill bourbon barrels, and is bottled at a higher strength of 54. 5%. This enables the Whisky to fully showcase the naturally aromatic characteristics. Nose: Sweet aromas rise from a sugar jar with vanilla pods. The fragrance of vanilla-and-amber scented candles fills the air, along with fresh tropical fruits. Faint puffs of chimney coal smoke linger. Palate: A chocolate-dusted cappuccino, warm vanilla-custard brioche and maple-syrup-poached tangy fruits appear, along with a roaring peat fire. Butter icing on vanilla cupcakes follows next. Finish: Sweet, creamy vanilla with a hint of peat smoke.
