No 13: Smögen ”Sherry Quarters”
Alcohol by volume: 61 %
Cask: First fill ex-Oloroso Sherry quarter casks
No 13: Smögen ”Sherry Quarters”, a 5 yo bottling at 61 % abv from ten first fill ex Oloroso Sherry quarter casks downsized from ancient bodega Sherry casks, released in the summer of 2018. A tapestry of sherried notes on both nose and palate, but very clearly underpinned by malty notes as baked bread and grist, with an ever increasingly obvious peat reek as the whisky is consumed.
