Appearance: An intense amber-golden color with a slight sheen, characteristic of whiskies that matured in former bourbon barrels, and then gained additional aging notes in medium-American rum barrels.
Aroma: First, warm notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of oak, then the medium-American rum layers open up: dried fruit, raisins, and candied fruit, together with a subtle spiced nuance (cinnamon/cloves) and a light dry wood note.
Palate: The start is smooth and sweet (vanilla, toffee, ripe grains), while the middle brings a more pronounced component of dried fruit (raisins, fig, dried apricots). The finish is balanced with the softness of rum, a slightly “dry” fruity note, and warming spices that develop nicely into a long, lingering finish.
Finish: Complex yet very harmonious: the ex-bourbon base provides warmth and structure, and the additional aging in medium-American rum casks for up to 12 months adds distinctive tones of dried fruit and a unique, pleasant dry-fruit note on the finish.
