12 year old Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish
Initially matured for 12 years in traditional American and European Oak casks before finishing in rare Amontillado sherry casks. Amontillado is a specific sherry type from the Spanish sherry region of Jerez that is characterized as being darker than Fino and lighter than Oloroso. Amontillado is considered to be one of the four major dry sherries but still displays sweet notes like hazelnut and caramel.
Amontillado sherry casks produced for the whisky industry are known to be extremely rare, representing only 1.8% of all sherry produced.
