Cawdor Springs 7 Year Old 2015 (GreatDrams) 50cl Whisky

From the Great Drams Christmas 2023 Series comes a vintage 2015 Cawdor Springs single malt Scotch whisky. Cawdor Springs is the pseudonym for a royally famous distillery, one that produces single malts that respond well to wine casks. Fortunately, some of the finest were used here, Château Margaux wine barriques. Ask your wine-loving mates about them and their eyes will light up. It's a winemaker with a unique terroir and one of the few vineyards to have remained relatively unchanged for centuries. The Scotch whisky was placed in those casks in October 2015 and then spent nearly eight years maturing, being bottled in July 2023 at 48.2% ABV.
