Notes
About Cask No. 76.151: A complex and unique distillation process creates an equally complex and unique spirit from Distillery 76. Here we have an impeccably aged 30-year-old that spend 26 years in ex-bourbon cask and 4 years in Oloroso cask. The result is an utterly entrancing spirit that will win you over with intensity and integration.
Tasting Note: An irresistible concoction of coffee and cloves pulled us towards beef jerky smoked with pencil shavings and served with maple syrup on bacon. A prickly palate of peppercorns and pickles danced with glee to the sound of black pudding sizzling in whirling clouds of wood smoke. A drop of water unleashed a compelling accumulation of chamomile, caramel and cooling camphor that skilfully merged with the heavyweight hues of molasses, prunes and almond-coated jamaica cake. Then cloves and saffron adorned poached pears alongside oloroso sherry trifle while we used burnt sticks to trickle rich honey over oily iberico ham. After spending 26 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead this was transferred to a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.

Each bottle has a specially designed label and is offered in a beautiful wooden box.
