【Three types of sherry barrels】

Sherry cask whisky is very popular, beautiful wine color, rich and rich taste, especially suitable for oriental tastes. Some wineries that focus on sherry barrel aging can fetch sky-high prices for both new and old wines.

Look at the Glendronach vintage single barrel, even its 18yo, and the Glenfarclas Family Cask, and now even the Glengoyne Teapot has not been spared, the Batch 007 is now asking for more than $4000, knowing that the store was only selling about $1700.

(Thanks to Glenallachie to share the pressure, some people might, but my tongue can't and my wallet won't allow it.)

Rare original sherry style

Having said so much sherry cask whisky, have you ever drunk "Sherry"?
Oloroso is charming and complex, with a long aftertaste, but it is a slanted sword, and it can even be said to be eliminated by the times. The editor likes it very much, but a good Oloroso is hard to find. I will introduce it to you when I have the opportunity.
The so-called "would rather rely on the bottom than the bottom", if you have the opportunity, you should try it and drink sherry, which is very helpful for understanding whisky.
As We Get It Highland 60.6%
Its flavor is closer to Oloroso or Fino sherry, with oxidation such as blood orange, orange peel, black vinegar, nuts such as hazelnuts and walnuts, as well as chocolate, coffee powder, etc.
Compared to the above two, this wine retains more sherry flavor, like a bottle of old Oloroso, original, complex and varied, very rare style.
Even if it is the same sherry barrel, the personalities expressed by the above three models can be said to be quite different. Stepping out of your comfort zone, tasting various styles and feeling the difference is the joy of drinking whisky.
