The Cooper's Choice range of single cask whiskies from Scotland's finest distilleries are releases from the Family owned Independent Bottlers; The Vintage Malt Whisky Company. The range is a homage to the passion and skill of the Coopers, the craftsmen, who build the barrels for maturation of Scotch Whisky. The range focuses on the impact of maturation in oak, and includes several obscure and rare wood finishes. Drawing from their remarkable experience and access to some truly special malts, The Vintage Malt Whisky Company have created a truly special and unique Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. Including components from Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, Laphroaig, Mortlach and Benrinnes this delightful whisky has been dubbed "Sweet & Smoky: From the Sample Room". Post blending and marriage this blended malt was finished in a single Refilled Sherry Cask. Expect smoked oysters with tobaccos and old leather. A complex and sweet malt with dried fruits, bonfire smoke and an oily texture. A soft and gentle finish as the peat fades. Only 570 bottles released. 700ml. 44.1% ABV. ---- In Scotland, any whisky distilled, either malt or grain, must remain in an oak cask for a minimum of 3 years before it can legally be called “Scotch Whisky” The making of the casks by the Cooper is an art passed on from generation to generation since the middle ages and beyond. Who better then to choose the perfect oak cask for maturing their whiskies than the man who made the barrel?
