This single malt was crafted from a mash bill of distillers malt, crystal malt, and chocolate malt. These specialty malts, more commonly used in brewing, impart rich notes of caramel, toffee and cocoa to the spirit.
After ageing for four years in small French oak casks, this whisky was finished for a further 12 months in stout casks. This maturation process highlights the value of creative local collaboration. The finishing casks (Pedro XimΓ©nez Sherry barrels) had previously been used at Launceston Distillery to mature our single malt. We then passed them toΒ Du Cane BreweryΒ to age their bold Whisky Barrel Imperial Stout. Eventually, these distinctive casks returned to Launceston Distillery, further enhancing the character of our Roasted Malt Release.
With floral aromas, sweet malt character, and warming notes of caramel, milk chocolate and Savoiardi sponge, this release offers a smooth and complex drinking experience. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 50.3% ABV, it is a whisky of true character.
