Tasted this as Day 1 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2021. 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, and the ABV, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This non-age-statement whisky was matured for 3-4 years in ex bourbon barrels, followed by about 1.5 years in ex-port pipes. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
