Milk & Honey Elements Sherry Cask - 46%
From the distillery website
The M&H Elements series is a composition of flavours and aromas assembled from meticulously selected casks that bring forward characters enhanced by the cask's wood, origin and history.
Each expression in this series is matured in a variety of hand-picked, superlative and quality oak casks, culminating in a beautiful natural colour, impressive flavours and a well-balanced single malt.
We travelled all the way to Jerez, Spain to oversee Oloroso and PX sherry made especially for us. The casks, once filled with quality sherry and seasoned for one year in Jerez, were brought to the distillery to mature our New-Make spirit.
This Elements Sherry is the first and only single malt whisky in the world, aged in kosher Sherry casks. It reveals robust flavors of red fruit, dark chocolate, and oaky notes.
Appearance: Deep honey gold, forms a thin line which beads then falls as slow, thin legs.
Nose: Dried fruit, red fruits, vanilla and caramel.
Palate: Soft, almost chewy mouthfeel, red berries, dark chocolate, dried fruit, cinnamon spice and a slight vegetal note.
Finish: Milk chocolate, sultanas and cinnamon.
Summary: The highlight is the soft, luxurious mouthfeel, whilst the 50:50 combination of PX and Oloroso casks has had an influence this is by no means a sherry bomb. Another pleasant, easy drinker and decent value as long as you're not expecting too much from the sherry tag.
