All About Sherry
International Sherry Week celebrates all things sherry. But what does that have to do with whisky? Our first ever bottling in 1983 was a sherry cask-matured whisky from distillery 1. Today we continue to celebrate sherry and whisky with our sherry cask maturation programme – which you can learn all about in our free-to-watch feature documentary, Scotch & Sherry: A Flavour Odyssey. Head to our Scotch & Sherry page to watch, find an event or shop our other Sherry Week offerings.
Tasting Notes
Opening a chest of drawers, we found monkey nuts soaking in sweet red wine, bran flakes swimming in treacle-infused buttermilk and chocolate-coated fig jelly. The palate was an opulent steak and chewing tobacco pairing, with rosemary on French polished oak, fruit salad and liquorice. Water gave the nose a vintage oloroso, with luxury nuts from a festive hamper and Turkish delight drizzled with orange oil. The palate ended with crema catalana, dark chocolate and crumble topping.
