To create it, the blending team filled previously used Islay Single Malt Whisky casks with a small amount of Barrell Rum Batch 001. We let it mature and the result was a deeply intense Jamaican rum with just a touch of misty peat smoke. With separate distillation, aging, and finishing influences from Jamaica, Kentucky and Islay, this was a truly unique spirit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eFor the Cask Finish: Tale of Two Islands blend, the team took the empty casks that held the Tale of Two Islands Rum, and used them to finish a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys. The sweetness of the rum and the smokiness of the Islay casks mingle together with the underlying bourbon that continues the Tale of Two Islands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eFlavor Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a classic bourbon with notes of old-fashioned donut and coconut macaron. Over time, that bourbon slowly leeched the brooding peatiness left behind in the barrel staves by smokey Islay whisky. A splash of water unlocks wild, tropical volatiles that are the calling card of Jamaica's ester-packed rums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixGuard wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eNeat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/em\u003e Rich mahogany.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNose:\u003c\/em\u003e All the hallmarks of high-res bourbon are tinted with the smoke of Islay malt. It singes the sage, torches the marshmallow, flambés the banana, and grills the peach.

They usher in a different side of Islay, this time its tarry, inky side. The texture is waxy with some gritty tannin that highlights its chalky mineral character. Underneath, it's still a fruity bourbon, exhibiting notes of candied lemon peel, nectarine, and plum sauce, all enhanced by the rum that previouslv sat in the barrel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinish:\u003c\/em\u003e Clarified butter, brisket, and lemon oil.
