An innovative and creative blend of 3 whiskey's of advanced years, 1 of which is uniquely matured in virgin oak barrels. It is the inspired choice of this virgin oak, coupled with the bourbon barrels and sherry casks that account for the whiskey's satisfying complexity and honey toasted sweetness. It is a marvellously rich pot still character whiskey.
Nose: Fragrant wood, rich pot still with a touch of sherry sweetness.
