Tasting notes
- nose
- fig and plum with crème brûlée and butterscotch, then gingerbread, roasted grain, dried flowers and an earthy, mushroomy depth
- palate
- warm malt and wild honey over cedar and doughy bread, with chocolate pudding, gingerbread spice, anise and a late leathery grip
- finish
- long; toasted almond, praline and sweet plum linger before wine tannin and oak spice dry it down to tanned leather

Why it's craft
The Badönkådonk is a Canadian single malt aged a quarter century, then finished in barrels from Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. WhistlePig did not distill it; it bought the aged malt, ran the wine-barrel finish on its farm in Shoreham, Vermont, and hand bottled each barrel there. Released in 2024, it followed The Béhôlden as the second of the company's super-aged single malts.
