- Description
- Henstone's single malt, matured three years in ex-bourbon before finishing in a 125-litre ex-Oloroso quarter cask, showcases the intensity that Spanish sherry wood imparts. Rich toffee, dark fruits, and sweet spices dominate, with the sherry finish adding depth and polish to the spirit's foundation. At 46% and limited to 195 bottles, this is best appreciated by those who favour sherry-influenced English single malts with concentrated flavour and rarity.
