Mossburn Dupont Calvados Cask Finish

£73.50

ABV: 57.2% 70 cL

The Mossburn Cask Collaboration Series is a testament to enduring friendships, bringing together the knowledge, craft and experience of two producers from different catergories, in a meeting of inquisitive minds and iconic spirits.

This collaboration with the Dupond family, Calvados producers in Normandy’s Pays d’Auge since 1887, is the second in the series. The single malts for this blend were chosen from four Speyside distilleries and aged for 12 years in refill American oak hogsheads, then married together and re-aged in French oak barrels that previously held Calvados and Pommeau, both typical of the Normandy region.

The Master Distiller chose these four single malts for their spicy florality and nutticess, to combine during the second maturation with the baked apple and oaky spice that the Calvados casks would contribute. The final whisky has a well-rounded complexity  with notes od red apple, ginger, nut brittle and a gentle spic finish.

Bottled at batch strength, at natural colour and no chill filtration.
