This exceptional malt gets its complex, zesty flavours from casks made of Chinquapin Oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii) sourced from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri. Chinquapin is a sub species of Quercus Alba and delivers spicy flavours and aromas. Air dried for almost four years, then toasted to medium level these casks give us the perfect balance of spirit and wood character.

Bottled at 48%, natural colour and non chill filtered.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Rich bronze sunrise.

Nose: Waves of heather honey, butterscotch and orange zest fused with nutmeg and liquorice.
