Method and Madness Japanese Chestnut Cask Finish

Priya Sharma — Unique cask, delivers on the promise

8/10

The Japanese chestnut cask gives this a really distinctive nuttiness on the nose — roasted chestnuts and a hint of dried fruit. At 48% it carries some heat but nothing harsh, and there's a lovely sweetness underneath that reminds me of honeycomb. Genuinely different from anything else on my shelf.
