X-Mas Quad 2025

Opened this on Christmas Eve and the two years in those barrels really shows—the toffee sweetness comes through with a warm bourbon kick that lingers nicely. The spices are there but don't overpower the dark fruit, which is exactly what I want from a Quad this time of year.

Opened this on Christmas Eve and the Pineau des Charentes barrels give it a lovely, almost honeyed edge that I wasn't expecting under all that dark fruit.

The bourbon barrel aging really comes through—that warm vanilla-caramel note wraps around the dark fruit like a blanket. I opened one on Christmas Eve and the spice blend made the whole room smell festive. Already bought two more bottles for next year.
