- Description
- Dartmoor Distillery's Ex-Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Matured Whisky is distilled in an unconventional 1,400-litre Cognac still under master distiller Frank McHardy (ex-Springbank, Bushmills), using barley from nearby Preston Farm and local moorland spring water. The nose shows raspberry and blackcurrant over malty vanilla with white pepper, developing into demerara sugar, cinnamon, and toasted nuts on the palate. The red wine cask finishing adds fruit complexity to a malty core, with spice elements creating balance and length. This accomplished whisky suits those seeking complexity from ex-wine cask influence and appreciating English single malt crafted with legendary distilling expertise.
