With the Badonkadonk yes, thats the name WhistlePig is mixing up the formula a bit, pushing the (Canadian-sourced) whiskys age from 21 up to 25 years old, and finishing not in its own rye whiskey barrels (boring!) but rather in Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon casks. The nose is the outlier here, kicking off with dense mushroom notes, a well-roasted granary character, and various trappings of the earth. The palate feels more like a well-aged Scotch than either the nose would suggest or The Beholden was able to achieve. Warming malts, a lacing of honey, and ample oak are all well-integrated and not at all overwhelming. The heavy earthiness evident on the nose is largely absent here, save for some touches of anise and a tannic, leathery note late in the game perhaps the best indication of the cabernet sauvignon barrel. The finish has some late-game sweetness on offer, evoking pecan pralines, graham crackers, and some lingering coconut notes. This is a bit fleeting, however, as the wine-driven tannins rush back in to give the conclusion a gritty, lightly bitter character. Single Barrel, 45. 5% ABV.
