Notes from the Whisky Team:
From Portugal to the Brecon Beacons or From an Andalucian 9th generation bodega to Pitlochry? Both delightful and different journeys. Discover the influence of Caracavelos wine, which is not your run of the mill whisky cask… far from it as it's a rarity and particularly fun with an incredibly fruity distillate from Wales. Compare and contrast with a malt from a Highlands distillery aged in an actual bodega sherry cask, which is also a rarity. This cask has matured actual sherry in a bodega that has been a family business for 9 generations. It's wine-y funky and certainly not like a lot ot things you've tasted before. This is one for the geeks wanting to discuss the finer points of unconventional wine vs unconventional sherry maturation. Or simply for the adventurers in search of originality.
