Sacred Spirits take English Whisky from bourbon barrels and recask them in London for further maturation (finishing) and flavour development in sherry hogsheads - old Pedro Ximenez casks from Bodegas Navarro in Montilla, Spain. These nutty and rich nuances give a truly deep and satisfying single malt. Log-fire smoke from a country pub, sea salt, dried pineapple, clove spice, sweet vanilla and Christmas cake.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt (Link New window)
Nose Bonfires, treacle tart, raisin and diced herbs.
Palate Intensely chocolate at first, before a hint of sea salt develops on the mid-palate.
Finish Christmas cake spices stick around on the finish.
