Cask No. 112.123

About An astonishing assortment: Distillery 112 has become a cult favorite among our members, and for good reason. It’s really hard to find an underwhelming cask from these guys in the last decade. This one follows suit with its magical make enjoying the effects of a Chinkapin oak cask. Complex with far out aromas and flavors to discover. 

Tasting Panel Note: The neat nose was masterfully balanced, intense yet with a subtle, fruity sweetness. Into our minds came grilled honey-and-balsamic-glazed peaches as well as hot, creamy carrot and coriander soup. It was very different on the palate, with a kiwi, ginger and banana smoothie, tropical fruits in lemongrass syrup and a melon-flavored soda. Water added sticky date pudding with caramel sauce, and cocoa biscuits sandwiched together with a sweet fondant filling. To taste we sipped a planter’s punch made with rum, lime and sugar cane juice. Following 12 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a second fill heavily toasted, medium charred chinkapin oak barrel.
