Full Circle Oak & Malt New Make 700ml

Before a whisky has been aged in a barrel for two years, it’s a malt spirit that’s approachable and delicious in its own right. Our new malt spirit has been aged for a couple of months in oak barrels that once held Bourbon, Muscat and Apera (Sherry), bringing to life heady notes of apricot and orange, honey and fresh bread with a slight toastiness.

With a light filter, experienced whisky lovers will be delighted to see barrel char residue, which naturally occurs when spirits are aged in re-coopered and charred oak barrels. For those new to malted spirits, think of the residue found in fine red wines.

This delicate, approachable spirit is made by distilling fermented, locally grown and malted barley twice, creating a spirit that is both full of flavour and character, yet refined. The provenance of all of the raw materials and barrels are known and traced.

Once in barrel, the spirit is in contact with all three types of Oak for approximately two months, giving rise to the delicate, rich stone fruit and caramel flavours emerging at these early stages of the New Make journey. We selected a light filter that ensures that a small amount of barrel char is retained to enhance flavour. - From the Distillery
