Fermutation

Ex-bourbon casks, both 1st and refill

Color Pale Straw. Nose Fresh, floral, herbal & tart. Hints of mixed herbs and cedar wood. Very zesty, vibrant, hints of smoked orange & grapefruit, lots of menthol & peppermint. With water, powerful bursts of diesel oil, tar, fresh paint and aniseed. As this dies down, a memory of freshly cut hay, a touch of silage and the tiniest hint of something savoury, like yeast extract or bread dough. Taste A lively, vibrant, sharp, ‘zingy’ texture, leading into very firm, distinctive flavours –malty/biscuit tones, powerful aniseed, cardamon, antiseptic lozenge, sweet mint toffee and cigar ash. Finish Finally, a lingering, salty, firm aftertaste of mint, tar, oak tannin & leather.
