OLD PERTH PALO CORTADO
MATURED IN PALO CORTADO SHERRY CASKS
Marking our latest limited edition expression is Old Perth Palo Cortado. This sherry type boasts a complex bouquet of aromas and is famed for its crisp and dry nature. Carefully chosen hogsheads were selected to highlight the delicate character of this wine, resulting in a truly unique addition to our limited editions whilst remaining true to our vision of quality, sherry-matured malts.
Palo Cortado sherry resides on the drier end of the sherry spectrum, in contrast to something sweeter such as Pedro Ximénez. This dry sherry variety underpins the fresh and crisp elements that have gracefully passed through the cask and into the whisky, offering a distinctive character to sip and savour.
KEY INFO
This exclusive edition has undergone maturation in Palo Cortado sherry casks and is composed of three single malts sourced from some of the most esteemed Speyside distilleries. Bottled at a cask strength of 55.8%, this high-calibre liquid, resting within these exquisite sherry casks, has resulted in a whisky of exceptional quality.
