A refined duo dedicated to the influence of sherry cask maturation, showcasing two iconic distilleries with distinct stylistic signatures. This lot contrasts the subtle maritime smoke of Islay with the polished richness of Speyside, united by the depth and complexity imparted by Oloroso-seasoned oak. Bowmore 15 Years Old – Sherry Cask Finish Region: Islay Type: Single Malt Scotch Whisky ABV: 43% Volume: 70 cl Initially matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in Oloroso sherry casks, this expression balances Bowmore’s gentle peat smoke with rich dried fruit character. The nose reveals dark chocolate, raisins and subtle maritime notes. On the palate, it is smooth and layered, offering toffee, roasted nuts and sweet spice, supported by a refined smoky backbone. Long, warming finish with lingering cocoa and peat. The Macallan 12 Years Old – Sherry Oak Cask Region: Speyside Type: Single Malt Scotch Whisky ABV: 40% Volume: 70 cl Matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry-seasoned European oak casks, this classic expression delivers Macallan’s hallmark richness and structure. Aromas of dried fruit, orange peel and spice lead to a full-bodied palate with notes of raisin, vanilla and oak-driven warmth. The finish is smooth, balanced and elegantly persistent. A cohesive and commercially attractive sherry cask pairing that highlights two complementary interpretations: the smoky, chocolate-toned depth of Islay and the refined, fruit-forward elegance of Speyside. Ideal for premium retail and collectors focused on sherry-matured single malts.
