From there it matured in American oak, soaking up more layers of fruit, honey and roasted nuts, before a minimum of six months finishing in first-fill Argentinian Malbec wine casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose casks come from Argentina’s Mendoza region – widely considered home to the world’s benchmark Malbec – and the influence shows: there’s \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edark berries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eredcurrant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehoney\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epeach syrup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecrisp apple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etoffee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and a gentle line of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003espice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky has already picked up hardware too, taking home a Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
