🥃🥃 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep mahogany with brilliant copper and antique amber highlights.
Aroma:
An elegant bouquet of dark caramel, toasted oak, dried cherries, brown sugar, leather, tobacco leaf, baking spices, and subtle barrel char creates an intensely mature and inviting nose.
Palate:
Powerful, silky, and remarkably balanced:
Rich caramel and dark toffee immediately coat the palate
Layers of seasoned oak and vanilla develop beautifully
Dark cherries, dried figs, and brown sugar provide exceptional depth
Leather, tobacco, cinnamon, clove, and roasted oak add remarkable complexity
Despite its 20 years of maturation and 116.18 proof, the whiskey remains impressively integrated with a luxurious, full-bodied mouthfeel that rewards slow sipping.
Finish:
Exceptionally long, warm, and sophisticated, with lingering notes of mature oak, caramelized sugar, dark fruit, leather, tobacco, baking spices, and gentle barrel char. The finish evolves gracefully for minutes, showcasing the extraordinary depth and refinement expected from one of Rare Character's most exclusive Brook Hill single-barrel releases.
