Occasionally, we come across a cask of whisky ofwhich we're unable to disclose the origins. While we would usually try to avoid this, some casks are just too good to pass by.
This rich Speysider gives a near textbook example of ex-Sherry butt whisky: dried fruits, wood spice and a little leather emerge on the nose. The palate is beautifully soft and mellow, with notes of figs, dates and raisins. Clean, vibrant, honeyed notes build to an almost sherbet-like mouthfeel. The powerful Sherry- wood flavours integrate perfectly with the high alcohol at cask strength. The finish brings more pleasingly soft Sherry-wood flavours, with layers of honey and spice.
