- Description
- This single grain from Girvan underwent an unconventional finishing regimen across oloroso sherry, Madeira wine, and Koval bourbon casks, creating a layered sweetness and complexity rarely found in grain whisky. The mixed cask approach softens the typical cereal and vanilla character of grain spirit with wine-driven notes of dried fruit and honeyed richness. A sophisticated grain whisky suited to those seeking something beyond the standard profile.
