25 year old Rare Oak
The perfect marriage of whisky matured for 25 years in American and European oak casks. Matured in European Sherry butts and American Bourbon barrels for a rich, sophisticated character and remarkable depth of flavour, our Rare Oak 25 Year Old is married together in small batches to create a truly luxurious and velvety smooth single malt.
Over two and a half decades of careful maturation results in a complex and intriguing whisky that's a real treat for the discerning palate. Large Spanish Sherry butts gradually impart a deep, rich fruit flavour to the liquid while smaller American oak barrels infuse this prestigious single malt with soft vanilla notes and just a hint of spice.
