This malt whisky blend, first released in 2018, showcases whiskies aged in Spanish wine casks. Inspired by an eponymously named bespoke whisky we created for a bar in New York City called The Spaniard, we decided to explore the sherried style further to create a whisky for our permanent range.
The first batches of The Story of The Spaniard had not just sherry-seasoned casks but also wine casks: our nod to the great similarities of whiskymaking and winemaking. The recipe has evolved over time, and yet that underlying full, soft and sumptuous character of sherry has always remained.
In The Story of The Spaniard you’ll find a whisky that is full, soft and sumptuous on the palate with jammy flavours of pears poached in red wine, citrus peel and spices.
