Product Description

Released in 2012, this was the first whisky to be released by Genglassaugh after re-opening in 2008. Initial maturation in ex-Bourbon and red wine casks was followed by 6 months in Oloroso Sherry casks. All three cask types work well in unison to create remarkable complexity and depth of flavour for such a young whisky. A sweet, fruity, well rounded single malt that offers great value for money.
