An NYE Magnum of 2018 Art of Darkness to see 2022 out. Last had this vintage a year ago, still ageing superbly. Would say the tannic, tobacco, leathery notes coming even more to the fore - and that’s perfect for a cold December eve. What a winner 🍎🎉🍎

Jack Toye: luke b. Great minds think alike on NYE! How’s the 2016 tasting?
luke bettison: Jack T. It's mellowed out considerly, but it's still got then cherry and raspberries notes on abundance

Very dry and tannic. Notes of oak. Not necessarily to my taste, bit I appreciate the quality.

Opened another bottle to see how it is changing, really quite mellow and the barrel aged whisky is a stronger influence.
Jack Toye: It’s great to go back to these bottles a year later. I understand the urge to buy a few of each and keep to spread out over a few years now ☺️👍🏻
Alec Mulinder: Totally 😆. I have at least one more I am keeping for later this year or next 👍

Check-in from last night. Turns out you can eek a magnum of cider out over 4 hours. After another year in the bottle, the tannins in this are mellowing nicely and the whisky barrel-aged notes coming to the fore really nicely.

This is a lovely cider. Great flavour and just gets better as it warms up. Should have bought two.

Slightly warmer so picking up more fruit coming through. Very nice.

A lovely tart start. Very dry mouthfeel. Hints of bourbon on the nose and a fine whisky sweetness. Very nice. #visbf2 glassware getting its 1st outing.
