O-Ton von Gregor Hannah:
This cask release is a Bourbon Hogshead #87. Distilled on the 13th of July 2006 and finished in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Octave for 3 months. This was the second batch from cask #87 to be finished in the same octave.

The octave yielded only 63 bottles because we took approximately 50 litres from the original Bourbon cask #87 to be finished in an intense Pedro Ximenez sherry octave.

Our Pedro Ximenez octaves are sourced from a family-owned bodgega near Porto in Portugal. Pedro Ximenez is a very intense sweet, dark sherry. Octaves are small 50 litre oak casks that provide great levels of oak to spirit contact.

On the palate, expect hints of milk chocolate, butterscotch and banana.
