Glen Breton 10 Year Old ‘Ice’ – 250 ml

Details

Glen Breton Ice is their single malt whisky finished in an ice wine barrel. At the suggestion of a Glen Breton fan, they approached Jost Vineyards, an award-winning Nova Scotia winery, requesting to use one of their oak barrels once used for their Ortega Ice Wine to finish one of their cask strength whiskies. With the partnership in place, the experiment began. Because ice wine is powerful in its own unique way they tasted the whisky each day as it picked up trace hints of sweetness and fruit from the grape. After 4 months it was felt that the ideal finish was achieved.
Nose: honey, cinnamon, apple, vanilla.
Palate: grape peel, sweet apple, vanilla, hazelnuts, spice.
