More Ribena-like than its unaged cousin, quite coconutty too. Lots of sweeter flavours from the wood, even though it’s been in the cask a relatively short time. Starting to taste woody.

English whisky made in a bourbon style. Rather sweet and raisiny, and there’s a lot of bread and cereal notes. Still, it has the bourbon sweetness and light banana flavour.

Dram

Nose: Cream, raisins, orange peel, burnt sugar, cinnamon, strawberry jam.

Tasting:  Sweet. Strawberry jam, malted grains, caramel, cream, raisins, orange peel. 
Finish: Short. Brown paper, burnt sugar, orange peel, raisins. 

Comments: 

Not sure about this - I get that distilleries need cash flow and release stuff that’s not quite whisky, but this is decidedly odd. It’s jammy and sweet, but there’s an unbalanced, artificial note. It’s ok.

Verdict:

I like this.
