I tasted this delicious whisky at Jack Rose Dining Saloon (Washington DC). This single-cask whisky was selected by the New York whiskey club, Drammers Club, as the 43rd bottling for its members. The whisky was initially matured for over 7-1/2 years in a bourbon barrel and then finished in an STR cask – a shaved, toasted and re-charred ex-red wine cask for 19 months. It was distilled on 12 May 2011 and bottled on 15 March 2021.
