The One Port Cask Finished

This singular release of The One is a blend of select grain and malt Scotch whiskies from Speyside and Islay with The Lakes Single Malt at its heart, finished in first-fill Tawny Port hogsheads from Portugal and Ruby Port casks. This now sold-out expression,  is full-bodied and smoky with ripe cherries and plums on the nose, hints of stone fruits, nutmeg and black pepper on the palate, leading to a long, warming finish.
