Let's Stay Together - 16 Year Old Miltonduff PX Quarter Cask

First fill ex- Pedro Ximenez sherry quarter casks- a perfect recipe for dark and decadent drams. This luxurious single malt has aged for Sixteen years. After Fifteen of those years of quietly maturing a stone’s throw from the River Spey, we split the cask in two!

This already smooth and rather lovely spirit was filled in two first-fill sherry quarter casks where maturation was finished off. (For those not “in-the-know” yet, quarter casks are much smaller than a standard cask, and impart a much larger sherry influence on the spirit’s maturation.)

Once ready, the spirit has been brought back together before bottling in our rather lovely glassware. Filled by hand, labelled by hand and -as always- natural colour and un-chill filtered. This super smooth sixteen year old dram has been bottled at 50% ABV.

WHY THE NAME? - LET'S STAY TOGETHER

As you may have noticed if you are an Uncharted Whisky fan, we name our whiskies after classic songs which have stood the test of time. This release is a beautiful single cask, split in two, spent some maturation time apart and before coming back together. These two sherry quarter casks were quite literally made for each other. Not to mention the spirit is as smooth and soulful as they come. We needed a super smooth title… what better than “Let’s Stay Together”?

WHICH DISTILLERY?

Miltonduff Distillery. Something of an unsung hero in our opinion. Classically light, fruity, sweet and floral- an awesome Speysider (and the rock on which Ballantyne’s blend is built!!). Amazing spirit and a perfect match for sherry cask.

Nose

A sticky and sweet nose. Bold sherry initially cloaks the intricacies but time and a touch of water reveal more delicate cooked fruits, cinnamon and cloves. A touch of milk chocolate skulks around the back.

Palate

Rich sweetness washes over the palate with bright sparks of pepper from the alcohol. As the dram mellows, deeper stewed fruits and milk chocolate give way to lighter stone fruits and layers of spice.

Finish

Milk chocolate and fruit fades first revealing Christmas cake and a touch of nuttiness. Bags of spices loiter for a lengthy, balanced finish.
