Wine Cask
This marvellous single malt from the Glen Moray Distillery was matured in five Sauternes wine casks for 14 years before being bottled up as part of the Warehouse 1 range. Sauternes is notoriously vibrant and sweet, and when its casks are used to mature whisky, those yummy characteristics make their way into the spirit. Expect a bounty of juicy fruit notes here, along with balancing oaky warmth.
Clementine, green apple, sultana, with hints of cinnamon in the background.
Honeyed barley, apricot yoghurt, caramel, more green apple, a hint of lemon peel.
Cinnamon again, plus quince and white grapes.

This is (and I never say this.. a VERY fine whisky) hugely influenced by the cask. Forget about the Sauternes this is all about the French oak cask. Could almost be an aged Calvados or Armagnac, it's a powerful cask influenced spirit. Yes.. the Sauternes & the Glen Moray just about edge their way into the show. This is an absolute blinder of a whisky - not cheap but every sip delivers.
