A specially bottled whisky for The Whisky Show 2017 which was hosted in Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne.
This single cask whisky was distilled in 2004 and then hand selected to be bottled in 2017. It spent most of its life maturing in ex-bourbon American oak barrels then it was finished in barrels which previously contained Moscatel, a fortified wine.
This bottling was very popular at the show’s and now we have a few bottles left over so a lucky purchaser can keep on enjoying this spectacular dram.
Only 314 bottles released and bottled at cask strength.
