This Port Cask Finish is a fusion of a 10-year-old triple distilled malt and an 8-year-old grain. Meticulously cut and refined in port casks sourced from the Douro Valley, it's a process that infuses sweetness with a kick of spice, resulting in a stunning, rich hue. As the inaugural release of the Cask Series, this one's finished in a Port Barrel, making it a true standout. 🥃✨

Unveiling today's advent calendar gem from my trip to Galway and Ahascragh Distillery: the impressive Botle of Clan Colla. A blend that beautifully balances smoothness with complexity, combining malt and grain whiskeys. Sourced malt, double distilled and expertly blended with grain, undergoes a triple cask process in ex-Bourbon Barrels, Oloroso Sherry Butts, and Peated Casks, maturing gracefully for 11 years.

This 11-year-old Blend proudly wears its accolades, winning gold at the Irish Whiskey Masters and the Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition. 🥇✨
