Royal Brackla 2014 8 Year Old North Star Series 23 55.3%
This hand selected single cask from Royal Brackla was distilled in November 2014 and left to mature in a PX barrel. The result is a dram with aromas of dark chocolate and cocoa powder. The palate is rich with chocolate flavours but not like Hershey's that leads to an abyss of a finish with more chocolate - bit of a theme here.
Wolfburn Manzanilla Cask Finish Single Malt Whisky
Wolfburn Manzanilla Cask Finish is a beautifully distinctive Highland single malt from Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery, finished in the finest Spanish oak Manzanilla sherry casks to produce a whisky of extraordinary character and elegance. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration and at natural colour, it is fruity, sweet, full-bodied, and sumptuous, with a dry, vinous complexity that sets it apart from anything else in the Wolfburn range. A whisky that every whisky lover should try. Why You'll Love It Manzanilla is one of the driest and most delicate of all sherry styles, and its influence on Wolfburn's already characterful Highland spirit produces something genuinely special. The casks arrived at the distillery with an exquisitely dry nose, and the resulting whisky is a revelation: rich, fruity, and full-bodied, yet with a distinctive dry, vinous quality that keeps everything fresh and elegant. With a perfect 5-star rating from verified customers, this is a bottle that consistently surprises and delights even the most experienced whisky drinkers. Distillery & Maturation Wolfburn Distillery was established in 2013 in Thurso, Caithness, on the site of the original Wolfburn Distillery that operated in the 1820s, making it Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery. The Manzanilla Cask Finish is matured in Wolfburn's traditional dunnage warehouses before being finished in the finest Spanish oak Manzanilla sherry casks, which add a distinctive dry, vinous complexity to the spirit. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration and at natural colour. Tasting Notes The nose offers golden syrup meeting cashew nut butter, overlaid with seductive vinous tones and an exceptional depth of sweet aromas. On the palate, there is a wonderful oily richness, coating the palate as the flavours unfurl: classic dry Manzanilla tones lead to rich fruit flavours of sultanas, plums, and dates, with subtle hints of toffee and honey. The finish sees sweet wine and fruit flavour
