Originally matured in a Bordeaux Cask, it was moved after several months to a Bourbon cask, as we felt it was getting too tannic. This short time in a Wine Cask has however given it an extra dimension of character and the almost full maturation in a subsequent Bourbon Cask has married with it perfectly.
