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 closest thing to a new car smell, the nose was like a glossy magazine sat atop a polished mahogany desk, in the gun room of a stately home. The palate was minted dark chocolate on a bed of candied ginger, rose petals, and rustic bread and butter pudding. Adding water bathed the nose in a kaleidoscope of chocolates, with the palate now chewy rum and raisin cake, dark honey and demerara sugar on salted caramel ice cream. After 18 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we then transferred this to a first fill Spanish oak ex-PX hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
