Double CaskDistilled by Master Distiller John Peterson

Nose: Very sweet. Initially caramel creamy then caramelized fructose, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. Charred note of bourbon over time with a pleasant dusty dryness.
Palate: Sweet entry and fairly bold, and although the alcohol causes a small tingle on the tongue, the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillation character is still there, but there's now a depth that counteracts that. Water breaks down the different elements somewhat, but adds some dried mint.
Finish: deep and dark.
