Boplaas 8 Year Old Single Cask 1953 with one new tight grain

with one new tight grain 500-litre barrel and two seasoned barrels

smoked meat and mixed spice abound with subtle herbaceous notes similar to Italian dried herbs

soon giving way to another level of charm as nuances of banana

this 2021 vintage was born of a moderately warm but windy growing season

Gentle at first
