Bottle 18 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours black with a vague tint of red and a beige head. Very sophisticated and refined aroma - hard to pinpoint. Neither the Bourbon nor the Bordeaux barrel seems to dominte, instead they blend together to a very interesting melange. Medium body, some hard roast, but never burned or overwhelming. Sweet vanilla with a warming alcohol finish. Very interesting and sophisticated. 280710
