“60 batches of A’Bunadh! Aberlour’s incredibly series of heavily-Sherried single malt has reached its 60th batch, and as ever, it’s an delicious dram jam-packed with chocolate, raisin and festive spice notes. Aberlour continue to get their hands on great Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks to mature the whisky in, and we continue to be impressed with each release.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Glenfarclas 105 – $$<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Glenrothes sherry cask reserve – $$<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

“The Glenrothes Sherry Cask Reserve was introduced to the Speyside distillery’s core range in 2014, and it’s definitely one for the Sherry lovers out there, as this is the first single malt from Glenrothes to be completely matured in first-fill Sherry casks. Yum.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Teeling Brabazon bottling #1 – $$<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

“The first release in Teeling’s Brabazon Bottling range, which will explore the impact that fortified wine casks have on the flavour profile of Irish whiskey. This initial bottling features whiskey drawn from six Sherry casks, resulting in big ol’ bundles Sherried deliciousness.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 year old – $$<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

“This is the 12 year old, Sherry cask finished expression from Glenmorangie, the Lasanta, bottled at a slightly lower ABV of 43% (originally it was bottled at 46%). It first matures in bourbon casks before being moved over to Oloroso and Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Sherry casks for a finishing period. Plenty rich and creamy with dark chocolate, dried fruit and fresh honey.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Glenglassaugh Revival – $<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

“This is the first chance to try whisky produced by the recently re-opened Glenglassaugh Distillery.<\/p>\n

It was closed in 1986 but resumed production in 2008. This revival bottling is the first whisky to be made at the distillery since it reopened. Matured in a mixture of first and refill bourbon casks, this was finished for 6 months in first-fill oloroso sherry butts.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Eddu Silver sherry cask – $$<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

“A Sherry-cask-finished whisky made with buckwheat for the Eddu range, which was initially matured in a Cognac barrel before making its way into a cask that previously held Pedro Xim\u00e9nez. It was released as part of La Maison du Whisky’s 60th Anniversary celebrations.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Redbreast Lustau – $$<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

“A new expression in the Redbreast range, introduced in the latter half of 2016.
