Cask Maturation:

Triple Wine Cask Finish: The whisky gets its name and unique character from a “triple wine” cask finish. It was matured in a combination of three types of casks:

2: Oloroso Sherry: A classic and influential cask type known for imparting nutty and dried fruit flavors.

3: Muscat of Setúbal: This Portuguese fortified wine cask adds a distinct sweetness and floral notes.

Tasting Notes (as described by various sources):

The triple cask finish creates a complex and layered profile. You can expect a balance of flavors from each cask type.

Nose: Hints of fresh fruit, vanilla, and maybe a touch of the characteristic Penderyn citrus and caramel.

Palate: The Oloroso sherry brings dried fruits, while the Muscat of Setúbal adds a delicate sweetness and floral quality. The Grand Cru cask influence likely provides a subtle structure and complexity.

Finish: A long, smooth finish with lingering sweetness and a hint of spice.

Strength:

ABV: It is bottled at a higher strength of 50% ABV, which is cask strength for this particular release. This higher proof helps to bring out the bold flavors from the unique maturation.
