Exploring the Influence of Wine Barrels on Whisky Aging
Wine casks play a significant role in shaping the flavour profile of whisky. By using barrels that previously held wine, distilleries can introduce distinct flavour notes such as hints of fruit, tannins, and sweetness. This process adds complexity and provides an opportunity to appreciate a variety of taste characteristics that arise from the aging process.
We invite you to join us for an evening dedicated to examining how wine barrel finishes can impact whisky style and aroma. Our tasting selection will include:
- 1. Arran Sauternes Cask Finish (50%)
2. Arran Port Cask Finish (50%)
3. GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Grattamacco Wine Cask Finish (48%)
