WhiskyHeroes Back to the Roots 12-year-old is a single malt whisky bottled at a robust 56.3% ABV. The label indicates maturation in a first-fill bourbon barrel, a cask type often associated with notes of vanilla, oak, and sweet fruit.
For a novice drinker, this suggests a fuller-strength whisky with a classic ex-bourbon style: brighter wood influence, clear malt character, and concentrated flavour. Adding a little water may help open it up and soften the alcohol intensity.
