What does The Cheshire Single Malt Whisky taste like?

Accepted Answer

The Cheshire Single Malt Whisky is characterised by Sherried, Vanilla, Toasted, Malt Extract notes. The Cheshire Single Malt from Weetwood Distillery uses premium English malted barley and soft Cheshire water, matured first in American oak STR quarter casks before finishing in ex-Sauternes and red wine casks for added depth. The nose shows vibrant cut grass softened by creamy vanilla and orchard fruits with floral notes and promised sweetness, moving to a creamy palate with layered fruit and wood influence. Natural colour and non-chill filtered bottling preserve the spirit's character, with the cask progression adding complexity without overwhelming the base whisky.
