Another single cask from TDL, another great bottling. Cherry cough syrup, mint, limejuice, a bit of motor oil and vanilla. These TDL single casks have really improved my opinion of the distillery. We know they can make fantastic stuff that is packed full of flavor. A good choice for a celebration bottling.
