- Description
- Forest Distillery's Blend Number Five is a blended malt finished in an exceptional oloroso cask that previously held sherry for 50 years—this is only the second whisky ever filled into this storied wood. The ultra-long sherry aging has created a cask of immense richness and depth, adding layers of dried fruit, polished leather, and spice to the blended malt base. Just 200 porcelain bottles exist at 47% ABV, each adorned with real gold detailing. This is a collector's piece and a demonstration of forest Distillery's access to truly rare cask resources.
