Appleton Estate Double Cask 8-Year

Having had a few Appletons and being relatively familiar with them(especially more for mixing) I was curious to try this limited release. It did not disappoint! At ~$50 CAD great value for your money that in my opinion flavour wise punches well above its weight. I enjoyed it neat and on the rocks I especially love the finish where the single malt aging comes through the most. Overall that’s some good stuff!

This is classic Appleton 8 finished in Speyside single malt scotch cask.
Rummy, easy on nose.
Absolutely smooth. Does not bite on lips like some others whisky finished sorts. Classic 8's taste is on background, 68% is new and its delicious. Fruity, funky, woody, delicious licorice. Feels like its solera on steroids ;).
Aftertaste is amazing, a bit spicy, with tobacco notes, long enough.
Made Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai with it (together with OFTD) - just the best cocktail ever!
Thanks Appleton!
P.s. it must be unLimited release
