ALL DAY AMERICAN BREAKFAST: A really punchy grain whisky at 64.6% after maturing 19 years in a Refill ExBourbon Hogshead. "The taste is sweet and spicy - sugar on caraway bread.

Panel's Tasting Note: "This sample, from the most northerly grain distillery, had the Panel very excited. On the nose beat, beeswax, tangerines, mandarins, toffee popcorn, rich honey, vanilla, orange oil, eucalyptus, cardamom and fennel seeds. The taste is sweet and spicy - sugar on caraway bread.Then turning waxy, like being in a room with children candle dipping and the aroma of sap and resin from a freshly cut Christmas tree. With water, aromas of steamed orange pudding, burnt toffee, vanilla cake batter, fluffy American pancakes with maple syrup and eggs sunny side-up appear. The taste is velvety smooth, orange and vanilla oil,cooked chestnuts, nut brittle and cornbread. Slightly minty with a spicy edge of a Jalapeno pepper in the finish."

Drinking Tip: "With a rack of pork spare ribs in the Deep South."
