DISTILLED 9th January 2008 AND BOTTLED 6th February 2023
A fruity, floral and honeyed distillate. Matured in a hogshead for 10 years and finished in a profiler barrique sourced from J.Dias cooperage for the remaining years.
One of our favourite malts to work with due to its natural fruitiness and waxiness, this whisky has spent almost 5 years in the finishing cask. Profiler is the name of a type of ex wine cask produced by the J.Dias cooperage in Portugal. The process of producing these casks is unique to J.Dias and is similar to STR cask but the toasting and re-charring is more gentle. This retains more of the residual wine flavours opposed to the intense oak from traditional STR casks.
The tasting revealed, honeydew melon, drizzly honey and lemon wafer.
