Description

Matured in a 500 litre ex-sherry butt, from Miguel Martin in Spain, Cask 822 is a ‘proper’ sherry butt that was actually used to mature sherry (rather than sherry-conditioned virgin oak butt). This well-seasoned butt imparts a richness that complements the mellow, fruity character of Annandale’s Man O’Words.

Miguel Martin is a renowned cooper based in the sherry triangle in Spain, crafts authentic sherry butts and had worked with us since we reopened in 2014. His casks, seasoned with sherry, breathe life into our whisky. Their rich history and meticulous construction create a unique environment for maturation, infusing Scotch with rich, sherry-derived flavours.
