Stauning Bastard 46.3%
Tasting Note
3 years in Virgin American oak, 6 months finishing in ex-Oro de Oaxaca Mescal casks.
Tasted: Aug 2021
The nose opens with some obvious Mescal pulped fruit, but the dark, spicy rye powers through. Hints of wood smoke, cinnamon, pepper and sweeter rye notes emerge along with some toasty American oak and subtle raisinated fruit.
The palate mirrors the nose in that it opens with the pulped white fruit, followed by sweet rye and slightly bitter spices. The soft American oak gives it a lovely mouth-feel and the spirit nips gently at the edges. Good length with dried fruit, dry spice and returning subtle Mescal notes.
