The TALU Oloroso Cask is the richest and most traditional-tasting of their three whiskies. TALU matures its rye, barley and maize spirit in level-four charred American white oak, then finishes it in first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads, which is where both the deep colour and much of the flavour come from.. The sherry influence yields flavours of candied dates, cherry jam, dark chocolate and cinnamon sugar, with glazed walnuts and a long, spiced-fruitcake finish over rich oak. It is bottled at 43% Alc. and non-chill filtered, with a natural colour drawn entirely from the cask rather than added.. We recommend reaching for this one if you already enjoy sherried whisky and want to see what an English grain spirit does with a first-fill Oloroso cask. It suits an after-dinner setting and makes a safe gift for most whisky drinkers.. TALU is a modern English whiskey brand built around grain mash bills and first-fill cask finishes rather than the Scotch single-malt template. Every expression is matured in charred American oak, finished in a hand-selected cask, and bottled at natural colour, non-chill filtered.
