"We weren’t looking for just any barrels. We wanted the rarest and most extraordinary casks we could find - not only American bourbon barrels, but also exquisite sherry and red wine casks sourced directly from producers in France and Spain. The search became an adventure in itself.
My friends at Hawkridge and I were forced - if you can call it that - into a road trip across these storied wine and sherry regions, meeting the makers, learning their stories, and selecting only the most unique and sought-after casks.
The result? A whisky that is far from ordinary. This second reserve release is the product of patience, obsession, and a deep respect for the craft. It begins with English spirit matured in rare American bourbon casks that infuse warmth, sweetness, and depth, each one chosen for its ability to add layers of rich, nuanced character. Think subtle oak, bursts of vanilla and caramel, and whispers of fruit, spice, and history. They did not disappoint!
This is more than just a bottle. It’s a statement. A limited edition, hand selected and meticulously finished spirit created for those who, like me, are always in search of something remarkable.
So whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself, I invite you to share in this journey. Here’s to bold choices, to old-world tradition meeting new-world daring, and to a whisky made for those who demand something exceptional." - Richard Hammond.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a burnished honey-gold glow.
Nose
Raisin, roasted banana and treacle form a dense, sun-warmed core, lightly lifted by a veil of delicate smoke. Vanilla–caramel sweetness blends with softly mingled oak and spice, inviting a warm, layered aroma that hints at the cask-driven richness to come.
Palate
Silky yet bold, the palate unfolds raisin and treacle with baked banana sweetness, uplifted by a delicate smoke. Rich vanilla and toffee ride a subtle oak frame, while spice and dried fruit emerge, guiding a warming, long finish.
Finish
Long, warming, and richly treacled, the finish wraps the palate in vanilla and caramel, with lingering notes of raisin, baked banana, and a delicate smoke that lingers like embers.
