Lindores Casks of Lindores Oloroso Sherry 58.8% ABV

The third release in 'The Casks of Lindores' series by Lindores Abbey distillery, created to showcase the cask types used to produce their award winning single malt Scotch whisky. This latest release has been matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry butts from the area around the city of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, then bottled at a very drinkable, 49.4% vol. Others in this series included the 'Bourbon' and 'STR' casks, which we still have a very small quantity left, at times of writing.

Nose: Ah, a proper sherry bomb! Very rich, lots of dried fruit notes. Almond milk, earthy cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, and ginger. It ticks all the boxes.

Taste: Medium body. Soft and delicate on the palate. I love the rich and juicy sherry notes here.

Finish: Medium long finish. More of the same for the most part. Green notes and more chocolate (and coffee) coming through towards the end.
