This is definitely a unique cask make-up. Wine casks can be a bit of a mine field, but we're definitely curisou about this one.
Producer Note
"Finished in casks that formerly held alluringly sweet Ramandolo white wine, and earthy Sangiovese red, this Single Malt Scotch Whisky holds a bewitching tint in the light. Layered crisp fruit, caramelized miso and a hint of cured prosciutto notes emerge for an audaciously umami and fruity flavour."

Producer Tasting Note
Appearance: Golden amber with copper lights. Fine beading
Nose: Surprisinglymildand gentle in feel, with some prickle, yet dry overall and deeply exotic. The heady top notes make a vinousfirst impression, suggesting white grapes and Manzanilla sherry, before the aroma takes a strollthrough the Tropical House of a botanic garden. It becomes lush, floral and fruity: lilyof-the-valley, lightly acidic white currants, mangosteen and lychees, with a background of lemon sherbet fruitsweets. A faint base note of vanilla fudge gradually emerges and develops with time. The impressionislight and fresh. A drop of water liftsthe citrus fruit notes, adding sweet caramel notes.
Body: Medium.
Palate: At natural strength, the texture is smooth and creamy, and the taste islightly sweet and fruity. Then, it becomes sharper with a more focused acidity, leading to spicy, peppery, and drying tannins. A drop of water initiallybrings up that fruitiness without diminishing the spice.
Finish: Medium to long, finishingdry, tongue-tingling and warmly spicy with some fruity acidity and a pinch of white pepper. There is less acidity at reduced strength, while the spiciness is now slightly mouth-cooling, suggesting Sichuan pepper.

The inaugural Roseisle 12-year-old was a highlight of last year's Diageo Special Releases. In terms of flavour profile, it sits comfortably in the 'safe zone,' but in terms of execution, it offers a fair bit more than a typical Speysider in this age bracket. We've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of additional expressions from this distillery ever since. And while it would be nice to have something a little more exotic than a second version of essentially the same whisky (same age and cask makeup), it's also a great opportunity to see how consistent we can expect Roseisle to be.
Producer Description
"From the cutting-edge Roseisle Distillery, this is our second ever expression. Our Malt Master evokes a sublime Single Malt Scotch Whisky that soars with profound flavour, building on the folds of a previous flight, born of seemingly simple elements. Matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks, rich flavours blossom with smooth creamy texture. Notes of ripe fruit and white chocolate lie beneath the sweet vanilla aroma. Nuanced spice balances warm complexity, ending with a long, rich finish. Experience pure harmony from technical artistry. Precise refinement to achieve exquisite balance."

The 2024 Diageo Special Releases bottling of Lagavulin is a 12 year, matured in First-Fill ex-Bourbon and Refill Casks before bottling at 57.4%. Much better. Last year's Tequila-finished release was... let's just say we prefer this cask makeup.
Producer Description
"This is Lagavulin character made sweet under the command of active oak. Bold smoke quietened to a hush, matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon and refill casks for a lush and glazed aroma. Experience a 12-year-old expression with thick toffee, vanilla, and coconut notes, unfurling with aromatic spice.
A testament to oak’s dynamic influence on bold character: powerful peat tempers into inviting sweetness. Made for the curious at heart."
