Fourteen years in a first fill Oloroso Sherry Butt has given that character room to develop. Flavours of leather, tobacco leaf, black treacle toffee, menthol, and anise.

Here it has been finished a first fill Calvados Barrique, an apple brandy cask from Normandy.The combination lands somewhere unexpected: it has strong smell of dunnage warehouseand mechanics workshop, and it offers funky smoke and apple syrup. Earthy and industrial on one side, orchard-sweet on the other. A really intriguing dram.

1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead · Distilled 03/10/2011 · 208 bottles

Macduff is a coastal Highland distillery that bottled most of its output as Glen Deveron for years, which means single cask releases under the distillery name remain relatively uncommon. Fourteen years in a first fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead, bottled at cask strength.
