- Description
- Sutcliffe & Sons' 2nd Edition blended malt draws from nine distinguished distilleries including Glenfarclas, Macallan, and Ben Nevis, finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. The broad palette of malts creates a rich tapestry of orchard fruit, baking spice, and oak influence. Best appreciated neat or with minimal water to explore the interplay of different distillery characters.
