Sherry Week
International Sherry Week celebrates all things sherry. But what does that have to do with whisky? Our very first bottling in 1983 was a whisky matured in a sherry cask from distillery 1. Today, we continue to celebrate sherry and whisky through our sherry cask maturation programme. Enjoy these casks as part of the world’s largest ‘salud!’ to everything sherry.

Tasting Notes
The nose opened up like a bodega breakfast with rancio, leather, ginger wine and candied orange peel ... and remarks such as "brilliant!" or "amazing!". The neat palate began with Danish almond marzipan chocolates, armagnac and strawberry tarts, all packaged in a beautiful texture and mouthfeel. The flavours just kept on coming: cranberry and crème caramel, treacle and cinnamon-dusted cranachan. Water made this dram fresher, minty eucalyptus aromas now wafting through our bodega, alongside sherry trifle, angel delight and pink custard. On the palate, water bolstered the fantastic sugary, tooth-coating texture, delivering flambéed bananas, blood orange, raspberry jam on toasted brioche and candied walnuts for a dangerously moreish result.
