New Zealand Doublewood 10 Years Old

New Zealand Doublewood 10 Years Old, 40% abv

Astringent, edgy with an unpleasant sharp finish. Some redeeming features of vanilla, fennel and Belgian endive (or quinine)? But, all told, a desperation dram.

Sweet raisins in a bourbon custard on the nose. Light sweet creamy vanilla on the palate. Lacking in balance to my taste with a hint of soap on the finish.
