- Description
- This 26-year-old Girvan from 1996 matured partly in first-fill oloroso before The Red Cask Company released it at cask strength (52.9% ABV), preserving the full intensity of its sherry-cask aging. Expect pronounced dried fruit, toffee, and spice balanced by the grain's characteristic sweetness and silky mouthfeel. A rare opportunity to taste how sherry wood transforms single grain whisky over more than two decades, presented in just 236 bottles.
