Keeper's Heart 21 Year Old was sourced from rare stocks of Cooley Distillery Whiskey before finishing in Tokaji wine barrels, a white dessert wine native to Hungary and southeastern Slovakia. The release was limited to just one cask with bottles costing $999 each.

The nose is oaky, soft and inviting — like warm oak with butter melting on it, plus vanilla, plenty of malt character and some berry notes — raspberry and blueberry, primarily.
Moderate mouthfeel. Lots of oaky and malt notes. Graham cracker, oak and tannin, peach, raspberry. The tokaji finish is subtle but present, delivering some smoked and fruity notes, plus a faint mushroomy earthiness.
Long, buttery finish that opens with barrel char before segueing into charred peach and a dry white wine-esque profile, with apple skin and apricot, plus white peach and oak.
A pleasant, well-aged malt with character. I personally would not pay $999 for a bottle of this, but it's a good whiskey — balanced and quite enjoyable.
