Three Ships Shiraz Cask Finish 11 Year Old

Description

Brand: Three Ships
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: South Africa
Strength: 51.4% alc/vol

This peated single malt, the 5th Edition of The Master’s Collection, was first matured in American Oak barrels for eight years before finishing it
in seasoned Shiraz oak casks for another three years. The warm South African climate accelerates maturation, softening the whisky at an earlier age.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Harmonious interplay of cherries, roasted nuts, Christmas fruit cake, smoky barbequed meat, and subtle orange.
Palate: Juicy with plush red fruit, cloves, white pepper, liquorice, treacle, raisins and warm peat, remarkably complex, the mouth feel is warm and lingering with subtle peat and a savoury, smooth finish.
