Description: BATCH 15 (blended on 24 October 2013) was distributed as follows: Type vaten in BATCH Oloroso 85% New Wood Medium Toast 15% This Quadrupel, batch no. 15, was lagered for a prolonged period of time (2 years) in barriques of Oloroso. Oloroso is a household definition in the world of wine, thanks to its specific qualities. In addition, we can recognise vanilla, almond, honey blossom and caramel. The aroma of this Oak is therefore highly complex. It has a rich, mature and strong flavour. Still, it is soft and creamy, and this batch may well be the softest produced so far. The taste buds will be hit not just by the ‘walnut-like’ oloroso. As the wine is slightly acidic, the alcohol feels warm. The oak barriques have slightly tempered the bitterness of the Quadrupel and have maintained the influences of the oloroso. This Oak is less carbonated, but does produce enough sparkle and, in addition to that rich flavour, gives a fuller sensation.
