Description
The distillery says: "Exclusively bottled for the UK, this complex bronze malt enjoyed initial ageing for over 8 years in premium American oak ex-Bourbon barrels. To add further richness and depth, the whisky was then re-racked into hand-selected Marsala casks to finish its maturation for a period of approximately 42 months. A fortified wine produced on the Italian island of Sicily, these Marsala barrels have created a well-rounded palate bursting with sweet fruits and smooth caramel, leading to a velvety mouthfeel and long finish. The whisky was monitored frequently to ensure the achievement of exceptional balance between wood and spirit influence."
