Single Cask Whisky Batch No.4 SM1827: Six Year Old Single Malt
Single Cask Whisky Batch No.4 SM1827: Six Year Old Single Malt
This Single Cask expression is the ultimate evolution of our house style Single Malt Whisky, featuring our signature six-malt mash bill matured for six years. Matured in a 120L Australian Apera cask, this expression has developed an extraordinary density and poise. Bottled at a formidable natural cask strength of 71.6% ABV, it is an assertive, richly textured whisky that captures the pure essence of the spirit exactly as it rested in our bond store.
The nose is immediately commanding, delivering notes of lacquered floorboards, cherry cola, and homemade pecan pie with the sophisticated aroma of well-aged cigars. On the palate, it is exceptionally mouth-filling, delivering a decadent array of flavours ranging from buttery croissants with apricot jam to roasted hazelnuts and Werther’s Originals. The experience culminates in a long, dry finish of black tea and Vietnamese coffee.
With only 84 bottles available, this is a landmark release for those seeking the ultimate expression of our distilling craft.
