The final day, not as exciting as finishing with Ar11 would have been, but let’s see if it was a strong finish anyway.
Minutia: Matured in bourbon, Sherry, and Madeira casks and bottled in 2019 yielding 1,260 bottles.
Color: Burnished, 1.1.
Nose: Big banana, funk, dough, hand rub yields snuff. That banana and funk are really more a single aroma of banana taffy.
Taste: Banana taffy, burnt molasses, light smoke.
Finish: Smoke, green wood, apple, spices.
Guess: Springbank 15 Rum.
Hmm, other than a Bushmills, I haven’t had anything using Madeira casks before, I have to guess that’s where that prominent banana flavor came from. Overall this was quite interesting, but that banana bit is a touch too much for me
Score: 89
