Quintessence Whisky
Customer Rating
“If I had fifteen hundred to drop on a bottle of whiskey (and I don't, for the record) I'd be willing to bet this is pretty tasty stuff. The bottle looks atttactive; I'm totally down with the whole "deer" thing. ”
Master of Malt Customer
Description
Initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, Quintessence spends a further five years in five different Californian red wine casks hand selected by Richard Paterson for this release, which marks his fifty years in the industry. Each cask held wine made with a different variety of grape, namely Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, providing different qualities to the final whisky.
