Amber Lane 'Garden of Temptation' Whisky in Isolation 54%abv 30ml

From the Whisky in Isolation Website:

Our whisky has been Double Sherry Cask matured - first in a French Oak Apera cask before being moved to an American Oak Oloroso cask from one of the most formidable sherry producers in Spain.

It has then had a short but powerful finish in an American Oak Tempranillo cask from acclaimed NSW producer Vinden Wines, which produces minimal-intervention, award-winning wines from organically farmed, family-owned vineyards and has been a 5 Red Star Winery in the world-famous James Halliday wine guide for the last 3 years.

We have used a 3rd Fill American Oak Bourbon cask as a settling cask to bring all the flavours together, resulting in a complex, sweet and savoury whisky that demands peaceful contemplation.

Outturn: 116 bottles
