You will be welcomed by a sherry-forward aromatic profile that informs the rich and well-textured palate. This has all the trappings of a “sherry bomb” and so much more. Choices made in the distillery, from slow fermentations to the use of worm tubs for condensing, creates a layered and complex distillate for the sherry to complement. Feel like a dram that emulates the magnificence of Distillery 24 without the price tag? This just may be your single malt!

Tasting Panel Notes
As we rolled prime tobacco leaves in the warm Caribbean air, chocolate truffles fell into a leather-clad bundle of raisin, prune and date purée. We tasted a rich, buttered slice of malt loaf, cherry jam on almond paste, warm sponge cake, ginger dipped in caramel and cherry pie topped with condensed milk. Water gave us vintage brandy and fried plantain on the nose, while the palate was nutty chocolate and candied bacon topped with lychee and fig jelly. After 11 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
