An American Experiment

"Known for always using American and European Sherry seasoned casks, this expression only showcases American seasoned Sherry cask. We get to see how the use of Sherry Butts and Hogsheads gives us lovely dark chocolate notes Nose full of orange zest profile and mint. This is a must have bottle in that collection you are building at home or in the office. The 48%ABV pushes the spiced oak and the malt profile to be evident on the nose. Go get yourself a bottle and try it, don't just take my word for it."

From Spain to Speyside

"The Distinction 2nd Edition highlights a fruit‑forward palate, with a luxuriously. . . beautifully, well-rounded mouthfeel. The gentle oak influence, and clear Oloroso sherry-driven depth, that offers a taste explosion like no other. . . . Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

Distinctive spice, perfectly balanced. . .

"This first-fill and refill combination is fantastic. The Oloroso Sherry characteristics finish well with vanilla, spiced and dark chocolate."

Wonderful daily drinking Sherry!

"A balanced & nuanced Tamdhu with Sherry at the forefront and American oak flavor bursting at the seems underneath. Sherry casks, natural colour, 48%, and some Rands less since it’s American oak and NAS. Reminds me of the 18, but at a much better price. This’ll make a great daily drinker indeed!"
