Aging whisky in Sherry barrels is an ancient practice that has seen a decline, with current stocks in Scotland comprising less than 0.25% of available barrels. The scarcity of these barrels makes them highly sought after, as they contribute significantly to the maturation process. The complexity of flavors achieved through proper aging in Sherry barrels—such as vanilla, ripe wheat, saltiness, peat, and oak—cannot be matched by other methods. This highlights the importance of traditional aging techniques in crafting exceptional whisky.
26 2/3 fl. oz. Single Malt., 80 degree proof.
