Summertime and the Sipping’s Easy

Bolster your collection and impress your whisky-loving friends with this explosive exploration! Summertime and the Sipping’s Easy delves into ex-bourbon, sherry and rum casks for a tour de force of flavour. We start with an ex-bourbon cask to calibrate palates with classic vanilla-driven aromas and electric flavours in Cask No. 35.312 Summer in a forest. This classic Speysider offers all the creamy texture and bright fruit flavours we could ask for in a summery malt. Our next two casks juxtapose the most frequently seen sherry casks in whisky production. Cask No. 78.62 At home on the range features PX sherry maturation with a decidedly robust make. The result is a fascinating spice and confection duet for the adventurous palate. Cask No. 80.46 A delightful detonation presents bold Oloroso sherry characteristics of toffee, burnt citrus, dried fruits and baking spices. Straightforward deliciousness in a glass! Finally, we’re venturing to the Caribbean for a rare treat. Cask No. 36.204 Truly an outlander screams summer with rum-focused flavours from its Jamaican rum barrique maturation. Funky and fun with a nose to die for, this is a terrific way to end your summery session of cask strength sippers!
