Undisclosed Islay Infrequent Flyers Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #807402 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
In stock
The Infrequent Flyers range is a series of independent single cask bottlings from the Alistair Walker Whisky Company, created to showcase distinctive and often unusual casks from distilleries across Scotland. Each release highlights the unique character of an individual cask, with selections often coming from distilleries or cask types that are rarely seen as single malt releases.
Bottled in small batches or as single casks, Infrequent Flyers whiskies are typically presented without chill filtration or added colouring, often at natural cask strength, allowing the whisky’s full character and personality to shine through. The name itself reflects the rarity of these releases - whiskies that appear only occasionally, offering enthusiasts the chance to experience something a little different from the ordinary.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, sunlit amber with rich mahogany and copper undertones, yielding a warm, reddish-golden glow.
Nose
Baked peach and cranberries mingle with a sweet, smoky undertone; a hint of blood orange brightens the profile, while cracked black pepper lends a playful spice. Nicely poised.
Palate
Islay peat coexists with sweet Oloroso in an eternally alluring union. Bog myrtle over smouldering embers, dark chocolate, stewed sultanas and Amarena cherries, with a cinnamon cameo. It all comes together beautifully.
Finish
Long, smoky finish in which Islay peat harmonizes with Oloroso sweetness, leaving a velvety afterglow of bog myrtle, dark chocolate, stewed sultanas and Amarena cherries, brightened by a cinnamon warmth that lingers.
