MATURATION
This unique whisky is aged in chestnut casks, which is actually prohibited by the Scotch Whisky Regulations. Scotch whisky can only be aged in oak casks. We think this is stupid. Chestnut casks give the whisky a distinctive character and a flavour experience that is different from traditional oak casks. The chestnut cask gives a deeper colour and more tannins and roughness. But it also gives us complex flavours.
NOSE & PALATE
Chestnut Cask has an aroma of dried fruit with hints of sweet raisins and red berries. Aged in chestnut casks, the flavour is dominated by the same notes you find in the aroma. These are complemented by light notes of honey and vanilla, the latter coming from the aging in Bourbon barrels. The flavour is quite long but fine-tuned and has a slightly dry finish where the wood tannins come in. A light smoky note is present in the background and adds complexity to the whisky.
PAIRS WITH
Flavoursome cheeses and chocolates.
