Price: ● Issue: Summer 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: English Whisky
Bright, refreshing, and sharp, this showcases how to unlock the expressive possibilities of sherry cask maturation without smothering the distillate’s innate character. Fresh citrus peel, lime, grapefruit, quartered fresh fig, bergamot, ripe peach, citrus-scented wood polish, and intense floral notes. A delicious concoction of sweet red fruits on the palate with nectarine, cotton candy, cherry, red apple, and watermelon, plus hints of citrus peel and accompanying oak spices. (U.S. Exclusive)
