Distilled in 2007 and matured in 1st fill ex-Bourbon barrels from a range of Bourbon producers, the whisky was bottled without chill filtration, colouration, or dilution, at cask strength, just the way we like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result?

Master Distiller Dr Nick Savage personally noses each cask in the warehouse every couple of years and writes down which direction the casks will take in terms of their release.

Once Nick had selected these casks, he added a similar amount of whisky matured exclusively in 500L Sherry butts. Not only do they bring the dried fruits, nuts and soft oak you’d expect, but most importantly they stretch the palate out, resulting in a tantalisingly luscious malt masterclass of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ef\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ereshly baked banana bread,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ecreamed honey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003echocolate-dipped strawberrie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003es\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e homemade blackberry jam\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.
