House of Hazelwood, The Cask Trials, 53 Year Old 49.2%

Single Grain | Limited Edition | 100% Sherry Matured | 49.2% | 70cl

Distilled in 1968 and matured for 53 years in a single sherry butt, this remarkable Sherry Cask Single Grain Whisky showcases the potential of grain to achieve great complexity and depth of character when given time and care. Crafted from an unlikely marriage of European oak and Girvan grain, this is today almost unrecognisable as grain whisky but with a delicious underlying richness that reveals its roots.

Matured exclusively in a single sherry cask for a remarkable 53 years, bottled at natural cask strength, free from added colour, and is non-chill filtered. Only 303 bottles were released worldwide.

Tasting notes

NOSE: Rich and indulgent on the nose with notes of treacle, toffee and caramel.

PALATE: The palate is sweet to start with a lively drying oak character and sweet sherbet aftertaste.
