From the Distillery
- “Cask #50 is the older brother of one our first Single Cask Series releases, Cask #52. The same decadent, malt-forward character that was present in Cask #52 is present here, but now with dried floral notes and dill — markers of its advanced age. Throughout its maturation it has stood tall against the oak, achieving the balance we look for in all of our whiskies.”
- Flavor Profile: “Dark, dried malt notes initially mark the nose with the malt balls, waffle cone and chocolate powder typical of our five-malt grain bill. The cask contributes some old rackhouse aromatics, caramel, and dill on the palate. Initially we’re confronted with a floral oiliness that is hard to penetrate but with a few minutes of air it transforms into dried jasmine and potpourri with a bit of dried orange peel.”
