Annandale Man O' Words Founder's Selection - Single Sherry Cask #587 Whisky 5 Year Old · 2016 Vintage
In stock
The cask was originally an American oak hogshead seasoned with Oloroso sherry. In 2019, it was deemed that this cask was at risk of becoming over mature so the whisky was re-racked into refill Hogsheads. These refill casks have slowed the maturation process down nicely to produce an exquisite 5 year old bottling.
