Tacnbora Cognac Finish Whisky
7000
Tácnbora – Old English for ‘standard bearer’ – continues to lead the charge for Ad Gefrin’s whisky ambitions. This limited-edition release sees its Anglo-Scottish blend finished for six months in Cognac casks, adding a layer of fruit, spice, and swagger to the original’s honeyed core. It was bottled at a cask strength of 58.6% ABV with no chill filtration or colouring.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Rich and rounded with honey, clover, and custard creams. Raisins and apricot jam, underpinned by hints of sandalwood and sweet pipe tobacco.
Palate
Thick and waxy. Fudge, dried fruit, orange oil, and a thread of old leather. Some oak resin and toasted nutmeg develop with time in the glass.
Finish
Lingering sweetness with gorse flower, honeyed malt, and a dusting of sawdust.
