Madeira casks don't often come onto the market, so when they spotted some beauties last year they snapped them up. Then they filled them with some of their oldest whisky: 12 years old, to be precise. This limited-release whisky was initially laid down in first fill bourbon casks in 2014 and transferred into these wonderful Madeira casks for the last year of maturation. Soft hints of delicate Madeira wine have infused perfectly into the spirit, lending it a remarkable sweetness and depth of flavour.
