Three Ships Chenin Blanc Cask Finish 6 Year Old

Description

Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: South Africa
Strength: 46.3% alc/vol

This unusual distillation was de cided on to create a lighter style of a traditionally complex malt whisky. This spirit was then matured for a further four years in American Oak of varying ages, before a final finishing in seasoned Chenin Blanc casks for two years. This Chenin Blanc cask finishing results in a bright and flavorful malt whisky with a remarkable combination of spice, tropical fruit, and zesty lemon.

Tasting notes:
Nose: The inviting nose reveals lemon cream biscuits, tropical fruit, rooibos tea leaves and hay, and a subtle honey sweetness.
Palate: The taste is warm, with delightful nuances of Golden Delicious apples, candied pineapple, subtle pepper, and lemon zest on the palate, now warm, fragrant, and lingering soft spice finish with fruity tones.
