One of the first new releases sporting this look, is a whisky from Speyside distillery Glen Elgin, that matured for 20 years in a first-fill sherry butt. This is bottled at cask strength.

Tasting Notes

"A great start with orange liqueur, before moving on to raisins, cherry syrup and cocoa powder. Truly delicious stuff from an active cask. The palate displays more of the same with, added blackcurrants and roasted coffee, perfectly complimenting the nose. Maybe not the most polished whisky, but a treat nonetheless."
