Much more gentle that i had expected initially, sweet elements first sugary sweet, buttery too, reminds me of cinnamon dusted donuts, but with a wholemeal flour, Cherry drops and a hint of eucalyptus, oaky notes come through next and then something a little more

Rebel Yell Cognac Cask Finish Review
The first of four drams tasted as part of The Whisky Wire Lux Row Distillers Tweet Tasting this was one i really enjoyed.
Bourbon can be something i can be happy to have a ttimes but theres not many of them that really inspire me, but i was very curious about this Cognac finished dram.
Gentler than i expected and none of the normal super sweet bourbon notes but a lot of spice and complex flavour notes, this is a really tasty dram that could easily make you think twice about whether you like bourbon or not.
For around £35 a bottle this is huge bang for your buck and one i would wholeheartedly recommend.
Make sure you follow Tweet Tastings on Twitter to be up to date with all the potential tastings that you could be lucky enough to be a part of.
Thanks to Lux Row Distillers and The Whisky Wire for this Tweet Tasting.
