Dancing Goat Presents: The Spaniard Release 010

Release: 010 Distillation: MGP in Indiana  Aged, Blended and Bottled in Cambridge, Wisconsin Mash bill: 100% Corn Age: 11 Years Proof: 114.4 Finish: This 2-barrel blend was aged 10 years in once used bourbon barrels and finished in new Spanish oak for over a year. Tasting Notes: The nose is candied and elegant. Sparkling candied orange peel meets sweet leather and aged oak, sugary pepper notes, softly smoked butterscotch, baker’s chocolate, and Dr Pepper before giving way to a pleasant, softly musty earthiness. The palate begins viscous, like an old-fashioned soda, before moving into rich oakiness and a myriad of beautifully supportive baking spices and tobacco. There’s a mature leather and oak presence that combines with dark cherry and milk chocolate notes, ultimately finishing with an effervescent, syrup-like Dr Pepper concentrate and just a strand of candied orange. The finish remains creamy with vanilla, fig, and raisin, along with tinges of sweet tannins, toasted citrus peel, and a sweet interplay of mixed spices.
