Ledaig – Rioja Cask Finish

Ledaig Rioja Cask Finish is a single malt matured in bourbon casks and finished in hand-picked Rioja wine casks from Spain. It is the first release in the new Sinclair Series, which pays tribute to the founder, John Sinclair. The nose brings Turkish delight and rose petals, balanced with candied fruit and grapes, then leather and peppery spice. The palate is creamy, with almonds, barley and sweet malt, followed by black raspberries, sweet vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon and a hint of freshly cut grass. The smoky finish is long, with red fruit and a touch of sea air.
