VELVET FIG

Velvet Fig is a small-batch, hand crafted malt whisky that is full of deep rich fruit flavours, a velvety smooth mouthfeel and complex wood character. Aged in 9 first fill ex-sherry hogshead European oak casks of single malt and 6 first fill ex-sherry butt European oak casks of single malt, Velvet Fig gives notes of ripe figs, sultanas, milk chocolate, walnut and nutmeg.

To create our blended malt Scotch Whiskies our blending team work to a secret recipe of Scotch single malts to craft each bottling:

Approx. 45% – Six Oloroso sherry hogsheads casks of Scotch single malt

Approx. 55% – Four ex-Oloroso sherry butt casks of Scotch single malt

All are carefully blended to create a smooth malt whisky with deep flavours of rich fruits and complex wood character which is bottled without chill-filtering and at 46% ABV.
