The whisky is bottled at cask strength without dilution after aging in a single oak cask, giving it a distinct character. The first maturation is in a Pedro Ximenez (PX) sherry cask, resulting in harmonious notes of sweet aroma, fresh fruitiness, a hint of ginger, and a savory finish. The alcohol content is 50 degrees.
The product will be available for online pre-order starting at 10 a.m. on July 16.
