The distillery edition series allows our dedicated whisky-making team, led by our Master Blender Michael Henry, to experiment with processes and ingredients in order to unlock new and captivating flavours.Just like our previous two sold-out editions, this upcoming release showcases our distillery's innovation and whisky making ability.
For edition 3, our Master Blender Michael Henry has chosen an extra-long fermentation time of 3 weeks, which further accentuates the delicate fruit flavours evident in the finished product.
The longer fermentation time allows the distilling yeast to produce all the flavours they can before a secondary bacterial fermentation occurs. The bacteria are present in the distillery itself and ferment much more slowly which is why the extra time is vital in allowing them to produce more esters resulting in a wash that has a higher concentration of fruit flavours. It is then distilled in our remarkable straight neck stills and taken at low collection strength.
Matured in our finest refill American Oak casks for 10 years, resulting in a flavour profile of vanilla syrup, zesty lemon and tropical fruit. Bottled at cask strength of 57.2%, non-chill filtered with natural colour, to keep things as nature intended.
