New Forms: Ex-Bourbon
Description
Step into the future of English whisky with New Forms, an exclusive series that boldly reimagines the rare, finite reserves of the original London Distillery Company.
The Ex-Bourbon Edition represents a strikingly transparent dialogue between oak and spirit. By resting for 12 months in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask, the whisky's foundational character isn't masked—it is magnificently amplified. The wood provides structure rather than heavy influence, allowing the pure, natural barley and vibrant fruit notes to shine with absolute clarity. It is an energetic, honest, and modern reinterpretation of London’s distilling heritage.
The Tasting Experience:
Aroma: A comforting invitation of honey drizzled over buttered toast, immediately followed by ripe banana and a tropical burst of pineapple and sweet lemon zest. Underlying hints of vanilla blossoms, red peppercorns, and tart nectarine add brilliant complexity.
Palate: Luxuriously sweet and well-rounded. Decadent waves of buttery caramel and toasted oak give way to warming cinnamon spice, perfectly balanced by the sharpness of bitter lemon zest and a deep, rich barrel char.
Finish: Exceptionally long and satisfying, leaving lingering traces of smoky oak, melted butter, crisp green apple, and fresh banana.
