Our long-time partners at Gordon & MacPhail have done it again with this K&L Exclusive Cask from the beloved (yet hard-to-find) Ardmore. It’s a tour de force in sherry-aged malt and a stunning value by any measure, considering that comparable age statements from the Highlands’ biggest names go for multiples of this price.

A sherry cask is a cask that has been used to mature sherry first, and then used to mature whisky? After all that is the case for bourbon and wine casks.
While this might seem logical this is not the case and the term “sherry cask” is arguably one of the most misleading terms in Scottish whisky.
So if sherry casks have never been used to mature sherry then how do we get the sherry profile on whisky?
In this video Mark Littler explains the history of sherry casks from their first use in the 19th century through to their current use in the industry.
