The resulting blend is Bottled at 46% ABV.
Producer Description
"We work with our partner in Jerez, taking American oak butts and precisely seasoning them with Oloroso sherry for a very particular wood interaction that creates a spiciness and generous intensity. We blend these sherry-influenced parcels with red wine-influenced whisky from The Glen Moray Distillery and our Highland Malt Blend in custom oak French barrels. Crimson Casks delivers notes of chocolate fudge cake and plum jam, followed by rich cherry, toffee and oak. These rich flavours are undercut by clove and cardamom."
