Elwood - Orkney Sherry Cask - 2017 - The Uncharted Whisky Co.

This is your opportunity to buy a share in an amazing cask distilled on Orkney in 2017.

Elwood here is one of a pair of brother casks released to us in the Summer of 2020. Check out the other brother, (maturing in ex-bourbon Barrel) – JAKE – here.

This youthful barrel bites at it’s weighty cask filling strength of 63.5%. The years have begun to mellow the spirit which harks from the rugged and salty shores of the Orkney Isles but they still have a few years to go to complete the ensemble. This youthful whisky began life nosing very similarly to it’s brother showing fresh and vibrant maltiness with green apple, soft stone fruit and a hint of vanilla emerging when the dram is mellowed with a drop of water. The gentle heathery peat is mild and inviting on on the nose and smooth on the palette. The big difference here is that Elwood has been re-racked into a fresh sherry cask last Winter. This dram from a multi-award winning distillery is already good and the next five years bathing in rich and sweet sherry wood before it’s bottling promise outstanding flavour and colour.
