Selecting similar quantities of contrasting cask types – 9 first-fill European sherry seasoned oak hogsheads, 8 bourbon hogsheads, and 9 refill hogsheads – creates an impressively rounded and unique flavour. As the warm spices and rich dried fruit flavours of the European casks mingle with the sweeter, exotic fruit notes from the bourbon hogsheads, the softer influence of the refill casks finishes off the harmony.

The result is a marriage of freshly-cut pineapple, ripe mango, juicy pears, sun-dried sultanas, dried exotic fruit, spice market aromas and curls of aromatic peat smoke.

Bottled at its marrying strength of 46%, this remarkable outcome of a remarkable combination of casks is missing one thing. You.
