Three Ships Double Wood 12 Year Old

Description

Brand: Three Ships
Category: Whisky
Type: Blended
Region: South Africa

This exceptional blend is inspired by Andy Watts’s exploration into the mystery and rarity of maturing a whisky separately in double wood. The malt component was matured over a 12-year period in American oak and seasoned Amontillado casks, while the grain spent 12 years in a combination of younger and older American Oak and seasoned Amontillado casks. ABV = 49,6%. Only 2670 bottles will be released.

Tasting notes:
Nose: An unravelling of toffee apple, nuts, lemon zest, marmalade, banana, dried fruit and coconut shavings.
Palate: Incredible combination of citrus, slight spice and cinnamon with salted peanuts coats the mouth, a long, lingering, softly spiced and delicately sweet finish.
