This is the Ex-Bourbon edition: London single malt finished for 12 months in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask #11190, bottled at 60.7% Alc. and limited to 222 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA year in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask has laid honey, vanilla and buttery caramel over the spirit, with toasted oak and a seam of char giving it structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey on buttered toast, ripe banana, lemon zest and pineapple juice, then vanilla blossom, red peppercorn, tart nectarine and toasted grain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and rounded: buttery caramel, toasted oak and warming cinnamon, followed by bitter lemon zest and a deep, rich char.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long notes of oak and char, melted butter on toast, a little fresh banana and tart green apple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our view this is the most approachable of the three New Forms: the bourbon cask keeps the London spirit front and centre, and the tropical fruit and char make it a fine reference point for the other two. At 60.7% Alc., add a decent splash of water; it brings forward the banana, honey and lemon zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe casks behind New Forms were filled at the original London Distillery Company, London's first whisky distillery in over a century when it began distilling in 2011. Whisky maker Matt McKay now chooses and bottles that stock in small releases. Tasting the three New Forms side by side is a rare chance to see how much a single cask finish changes one spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The London Distillery Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56456382710145,"sku":"5060797402840","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/3896\/2981\/files\/london-distillery-company-new-forms-ex-bourbon-single-malt-whisky-1.jpg?v=1793095757","url":"https:\/\/www.digidistiller.com\/products\/london-distillery-company-new-forms-ex-bourbon-single-malt-whisky","provider":"Digital Distiller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
