Imagine sitting on the veranda of a neoclassical mansion set in the American South with your grandparents smoking pipes and telling you stories from the past. The sun was setting over the fields as the smell from the cooking reached you of burnt butter, walnut, and date-stuffed chicken breasts. To drink there was bramble wine and Vino de Naranja, orange wine from Andalucía matured in oak casks with additional bitter orange peel making the taste sweet, with notes of coffee, toffee, sultanas, and oranges. Following twelve years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a 1st fill # 3 charred hogshead.
