Cotswolds Whisky Flaxen Vale 700ml

This is the second iteration in the Cotswolds Harvest Series of bottlings from this sustainably minded English distillery. Aged in three kinds of casks: Spanish oak, which previously held Pedro Ximenez Sherry; American oak, which previously held Oloroso; and barrels that had previously aged half-peated whisky, there is a huge mix of flavours here. The flavour grows with each sip, from fruit cake to gentle smoke wafting around. The palate rounds out with notes of purple jam on slightly singed toast; delightful.
