- Smaller casks impart exponentially more flavour on maturing whisky than more common larger casks.
- Fresh, first-fill casks impart huge amounts more flavour than the more common “refill” casks.
- This is a tiny first-fill sherry quarter cask. It doesn’t get much more flavourful than this!
This decadently rich single cask was given the rather generous finishing period of 14 months in the sherry wood, having been originally matured in ex-bourbon wood. The resulting spirit is sweet, dripping in aromas of dates, Christmas cake, spices and all the classic sherry cask flavours we love. It is an abundantly generous dram, almost thick when tasted with a long, smooth and spiced finish.
This whisky has been bottled at natural cask strength of 55.2% ABV, hand bottled, hand labelled and presented to you un-chill filtered and at a complete natural (and rather fantastic) colour. Only 161 bottles produced with only 130 offered to the Uncharted Whisky community. Max of 3 bottles per person.

TASTING NOTES
Nose
Really pronounced and rich sweetness leaps out the glass. All the classic aromas of a sherry monster dram! Stewed fruits and sticky toffee pudding. A touch of vanilla and a hint of leather.
Palate
Bold and unctuous. Cask strength hits hard with bold spice before the palate is steamrolled by huge sweetness. It coats the mouth feeling almost thick and buttery. Waves of Christmas cake, sticky toffee pudding and melted vanilla ice cream. Christmas in a glass!
Finish
Long, mellow and super smooth. The fudgey sweetness lasts so long mingling with mild spicing.
