A barrel, selected by myself and Hans Bresser. 4 years matured in American oak but, due to the rapid aging in the Indian climate, feeling much older. Notes of sweet and earthy peat smoke, slightly salty maritime. Grass, hay and curry leaves, anise, cumin. Very complex in the mouth and surprisingly easy to drink despite its 57%. Earthy peat, oak, clove, (Armagnac-like) black pepper and delicate tannins. Very long, rich light dry finish with peat and honey. Slightly bitter tannins. A Gem!
