Sherry
From Speyside's Glentauchers distillery, a superb single malt joins Cask Series 21 from indie bottler North Star Spirits. Distilled in 2008, the whisky spent 14 years resting in an oloroso sherry butt that yielded a total of 708 bottles when it was opened in 2022.
Sourdough crumpets and creamy chocolate lead to plump raisins and freshly baked sponge cake.
Heaps of dried, sherry-soaked fruit arrives on the palate, with dates, sultanas, and prunes, supported by candied nuts and iced fingers.
Dense drying oak lingers for the finish, backed by rich baking spice and drizzles of burnt caramel.
