- Description
- Strathmill's 2011 vintage underwent extended maturation in oloroso casks, culminating in a 23-month finish in first-fill oloroso butt that adds richness and complexity. The single cask offering displays dark chocolate, stone fruit, orange peel, and honeyed sweetness characteristic of premium sherry finishing. At 58.3%, the spirit maintains clarity while the cask influence creates a full, layered texture with lingering sweetness. Best suited to those who appreciate sherry-influenced single malts with restraint and depth.
