So...in the weird and wonderful world of whiskey...it would appear that nothing is off limits these days! In a bid to be different...producers are using all sorts of casks, which have previously contained all sorts of liquids, to mature and finish their whiskies. It would also appear...that a lot of those liquids were not commonly stored in barrels. Orange liqueur is one such liquid. "So, what happens if you season a cognac cask with orange liqueur and then mature whiskey in it?" I imagine no-one ever asked! Except perhaps the Boyd-Armstrongs of Rademon estate. The result is....well just watch!
