Tasted as Day 20 of the 2024 Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the type of barrel/cask used for maturation, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This is a single malt that starts in Ex-Bourbon and is finished for 18 months in Italian Vin Santo Casks. Vin Santo is a dessert wine (not fortified).
