If you have been following Wilson & Morgan for some years, you certainly know that we have had some truly marvellous whiskies from second fill casks, with very little oak influence, and also without peat. It’s no mystery, though, that we love very distinctive flavours… and as a consequence we easily fall in love with whiskies that either have a strong first fill sherry cask influence (those big dry winey notes!), or that are heavily marked by peat smoke.
It shouldn’t surprise you then than two of our most recent bottlings belong to these styles…
LINKWOOD 12yo LINKWOOD 12yo 2008-20 “Sherry Finish PX” Casks #308645-46 58,0% W&M353
The extra year of maturation in a Pedro Ximenez cask brought all the raisiny goodness of the Spanish dessert wine. Flowery and fruity, rich of candied oranges, apricots, and a hint of dried dates and figs. Sweet and waxy, but also spicy and lively.Again, two very different whiskies… one that’s heavily sherried, and a heavily peated one. No matter which is your favourite style, Wilson & Morgan always has something for you!
