The follow-up to The Joy of Six, we have taken two small format casks matured for 6 years and 6 months in French Oak Apera casks and then decanted them into fresh 1st Fill French Oak Apera casks for a secondary 6 month maturation.
We have then married together the two casks to create the distillery's first double-matured whisky, aged for a total of 7 years.
This marriage has then been finished for 7 months in an ex-Rye Whiskey American Oak cask that has barrel-aged Canadian Maple Syrup; another commercial first for the distillery.
Bottle Size: 500ml
ABV: 58%
Outturn: 90 bottles
Distillery Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark rum, sweet tobacco, prunes and raisins, caramel and nutty
Palate: Burnt oak, dark maple, molasses and coffee, really yum
Finish: Mammoth and all things rich!
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Candied walnuts; toasted oak; maple syrup; cinnamon scrolls and caramelised citrus peel
Palate: A great balance of sweetness, nuttiness and oakiness that echoes the nose with an added layer of exotic, toasted African spices, all wrapped up in a viscous mouthfeel
Finish: Long, lip-smacking maple syrup, a hint of butter menthol and the warming, smoky embers of a dying winter's fire
