79% 19 year-old Glen Ord from a first-fill sherry butt

10.1% 40 year-old Strathclyde (grain whisky) from a refill American Oak Hogshead (ex-bourbon)

6.9% 40 year-old Girvan (grain whisky) from a refill American Oak Hogshead (ex-bourbon)

4.0% 30 year-old Caol Ila from a refill American Oaks Hogshead (ex-bourbon)

No chill-filtration or added coloring. Bottled in August 2015 with 4,992 bottles filled.

n: burnt sherry notes of heavy ash and dry wood. Full rounded nose with golden fruit, toffee, all with a center of charred wood and smoke.

 

t: follows the nose, dried dark fruit, smoked baklava, and toffee. Earthy in the middle. This is dark and smokey (oily peat tar and waxed fruit) but has a reallly quick finish.

 

Also, as a sucker for great package design, this is very aesthetically pleasing.
