Man O'Words - Double Oaked Ex-Bourbon. Palate: Incredibly smooth given the ABV. Lots of fruit notes ping off every sip - banana, orange, pineapple, and mango - then transition to strong milky coffee @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
Man O'Words - Double Oaked Ex-Bourbon. Palate (cont.): The coffee note transitions to a sweet note of butter tablet as it heads into the finish @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
Man O'Sword - STR Barrel. Palate: Very, very, dry, with notes of raspberry, bitter cherry and cinnamon @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
Man O'Sword - STR Barrel. Palate: Gets even dryer with further tasting, the red fruits notes continue to dominate with a very strong pepper note on the finish @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
Man O'Sword - Ex-Oloroso Sherry Butt. Palate: Again, very smooth. There is a slight maritime note, but the dominant flavours are of BBQ meats. Not what I would normally expect from this cask type - but delicious nonetheless @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky
Man O'Words - Double Oaked Ex-Bourbon. Nose (cont.): The funky notes have now dissipated, to be replaced by a relatively subdued orange note overlaying maltiness @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
Man O'Sword - Ex-Oloroso Sherry Butt. Palate (cont): Relatively dry with notes of dark chocolate and slightly burnt toast coming though, that then dissipate to similarly orange notes to the unpeated samples towards the finish @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky
A big thanks to @annandalewhisky.bsky.social and @thewhiskywire.bsky.social for a great tasting. My dram of the night was the Double Oaked Ex-Bourbon which deserves a Gold Medal. Not sold on STR or red wine casks in general, but will continue to taste with an open mind! #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch
Man O'Sword - Ex-Oloroso Sherry Butt. Nose: An initial strong note of oak is very rapidly overtaken by sweet, but not that smoky, BBQ. @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
Man O'Sword - STR Barrel. Nose: Not a lot there straight after the pour, but then a strawberry note starts to emerge alongside pear drops and polish. @thewhiskywire.bsky.social @annandalewhisky.bsky.social #AnnandaleWhisky #Scotch #Whisky
