Long, unmistakable oak with dark chocolate and clove.
Details
In late 2019, a fire in the fuel store of their biomass boiler shut down production, dramatically truncating their annual output. Constraints breed creativity, and their third release brings together winter and summer runs of Concerto and Laureate barley, fermented for 120 hours and cut to an emerging GlenWyvis style in their squat pot stills. A unique trio of speciality casks contribute layers: red wine adds black fruit and spice, Moscatel adds floral notes of citrus while a lone Marsala cask brings unmistakable sweetness. A complex, delicate dram that embraces its youth.
A batch of 33 casks:
24 First-fill Ex-Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey (68%)
2 First-fill Ex-Red Wine (7%)
2 First-fill Ex-Moscatel (7%)
2 First-fill Ex-Marsala (3%)
4 Refill Hogsheads (15%)
Bottled at 46.5% abv without chill-filtration. Natural colour.
