Conclusion: the easiest ex-Sherry cask to get hold of, and lucky for us, it seems to fit best with the flavours of whisky, making it easily the most used non ex-Bourbon cask used in the whisky industry. For me, this is the most accessible of the four expressions.
Extra info: All spirit used in this series was distilled on the 15th of January 2002 and filled into ex-Bourbon barrels. On the 29th of June 2011, all these casks were transferred into four different types of ex-Sherry casks. Bottling took place on the 20th of August 2014, without any addition of caramel colouring of chill filtration. Only 1500 bottles of each expression will be available worldwide.
