The Classic Cask 23 Year Scotch Collection (4 x 750 ML)

Description

The Classic Cask 23 Year Old Selection began with the acquisition of superlative casks of single casks of single malt Scotch whiskies from Speyside, the Highlands and Island distilleries and premium aged grain whiskies. All were selected by distinguished Master Blender, David Hallgarten of the Glenaden Distilling Company, and matured in their original casks for a minimum of 23 years. The whiskies were judiciously blended and then married in vats for 6 months. The blend was returned to casks for additional maturation and finishing.

Combo Set Includes: 

(1) Original Cask – Mid amber in color, this bold whisky was aged in first fill Bourbon barrels for its entire 23 years of aging. The nose is honey and vanilla, with fruity, citrus and toffee notes on the palate and an unusually smooth finish.

(1) Caribbean Rum Finish – After 23 years of aging the whisky were then placed into former Caribbean Rum casks that once held Solera aged rums, for a 6 months. During that period, it picked up the distinctive rum features which added a new dimension to this thoroughly engaging whisky.

Antique mahogany in color the Oloroso finished bottlings have a fresh sweet bouquet, that exhibit pears and nutty aromas. Butterscotch and walnut are prominent on the palate followed by an extraordinarily smooth finish.
