Of course “aged in ex-bourbon” is kind of like saying “written on paper” or “served on a plate”.

I just returned from South Africa (Cape Town) and a lovely time was had by all. While travelling, I always try to carve out some time early in the trip to seek out a bottle of whisky or whisky-adjacent spirits that are locally made, or at least only available locally. I do this for two reasons: First, it’s easy to get tunnel vision about what products are available at my regular liquor stores, and I like to try to get access to things I can’t get at home. Second, then I have a bottle of whisky that must be finished before the return trip!

The brand recently released a new Irish whiskey finished in Quercus Garryana white oak casks – a first for the category. Nose: Achingly, cloyingly sweet, with a hearty dose of brown sugar, caramelized banana, wood sugars, and an alcohol overtone I can only describe as akin to cheap rum.
