This is your opportunity to buy a share in an amazing Ex-Oloroso sherry cask distilled in heart of Dumfries and Galloway. Mick is one of a pair of casks we had filled in Spring of 2022. This smoky cask does have a brother, aptly named Keith, soaking in an ex-bourbon cask.

This cask has been filled with vibrant peated spirit from a particularly gorgeous distillery just a hop skip and a jump from the stunning Galloway coast. This freshly filled cask is bright, malty and voracious with sweet peat. Still less than a year old, the spirit is still malty which we expect to mellow with time and sweet fruit to develop. The gorgeous rouge of the oloroso sherry wood is beginning to seep into spirit. Behind the sweet peat, spice and sweetness stand in abundance. We expect the years ahead to develop rich fruity flavours, mellow the malt and peat. Peated whisky with a full maturation in sherry is very sought after for very good reason. This cask was filled with 257 litres of new make spirit in Spring of 2022 at a filling strength of 64% alcohol. This spirit, commonly named Kirkcowan or Lingdarroch harks from a beautiful and historic distillery recently re-awoken. Only a small portion of the production is peated making this particularly unusual. The next 8 years promise great things. Bottling is due in Summer of 2030 at 8 years old.
