Nose: A lot lighter, a lot fresher than batch 21. Hardly any funk here. With time the familiar funkiness does make an appearance. Mainly bourbon notes, the sherry casks have not had a whole lot of impact.

Taste: Full bodied. Tropical fruits, honey and ginger. A lot lighter again than the batch 21. The bourbon casks dominate.

Finish: Medium long finish. Sugary sweet. Ginger and vanilla. Fizzy and softly funky.

Comment: Another darn fine batch, but not quite on level with batch 21.
