This rare release single malt whisky is a marriage of 1st fill 100L charred French oak pinot noir barrels sourced from local Scotchmans Hill winery. They were filled at 64% abv and after two summers of extracting rich and complex tannins the spirit underwent a second maturation in 1st fill 200L American oak bourbon barrels. This second maturation sweetened and softened the whisky adding vanilla and caramel notes to the spice and the red fruit flavours previously extracted from the wine barrels
