The Kingdoms Finest 2020 5 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish (70cl, 56.1%)

A Lowland single malt whisky distilled in 2020 from StrathEnry at the InchDairnie Distillery, matured for five years in American oak and finished for one year in Oloroso sherry casks from Ximénez-Spínola. Unusually, the sherry was made from Pedro Ximénez grapes rather than the Palomino usually used for Oloroso. It belongs to the autumn 2026 release of the Mystery Malt series and comes from casks 2500781, 2500782 and 2500783. The outturn is 904 bottles of 70cl, bottled at 56.1% without chill filtration or colouring, in a gift box. The nose brings fudge and milk chocolate with almond, followed by a creamy palate with caramel apple and dried mango, and a finish of dried fruit, spice and barley sugar sweetness.
