Hicks & Healeys Finest Cornish Single Malt Whiskey
In 2003, a handshake between 2 local forward thinking independent family owned businesses, led to what is considered today the very first action in the revival of whiskey production in England. Did you know? That Cornwall has the oldest stocks of English Whiskey? Although they did not bring their's to market first they, Hicks and Healey are sitting on the oldest stocks of English Whiskey! This partnership was forged by St Austell Brewery, founded Walter Hicks in 1851 and Healeys which was established in 1980 by David Healey. This is made from the Maris Otter Cornish barley and expertly brewed by St Austell Brewery and then distilled and matured by Healeys. Expect spicy notes, honey and barley amongst hints of cocoa, caramel and delicate fruits that lead to a vanilla finish.
Kavalan Concertmaster Port Cask Finish
Concertmaster is a single malt whisky that stresses the singular character yet does not lose its comprehensive harmony. Portuguese ruby, tawny and vintage Port casks are used to develop the main flavour, combining Ka Va Lan's unique Taiwanese whisky attributes to compose a harmonic symphony. Presenting a natural colour free from additives, its original flavour with a port finish is composed of layers of flavours and fragrances. The air in Yilan, where Kavalan whisky is distilled, is considered to be pure and fresh in Taiwan. It is the fresh air that gives Kavalan whisky its smooth, creamy and refreshing character. Kavalan Concertmaster single malt whisky is first matured in specially selected American oak casks and then finished in port barriques. Port, a fortified wine, is traditionally made in Douro valley in Portugal. The marrying in the barriques mellows the flavours and adds indefinable smoothness to the whisky. Kavalan Concertmaster was awarded silver medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
