THREE SHIPS 6 YO Chenin Blanc Cask Finish 750ml

HISTORY
Released as part of the Master’s Collection; the Three Ships Whisky 6-Year-Old Chenin Blanc Cask Finish is the seventh limited edition, and a first for South Africa. Created by Master Distiller Andy Watts, this whisky is an unconventional and unique masterpiece, and a direct result of Watts’ continued exploration of whisky innovation.

CRAFTING AND MATURATION
This limited-edition masterpiece began during the winter of 2016, when Watts column-distilled malted barley to create a lighter style of a traditionally complex malt whisky. This spirit was then matured for a further four years in American Oak of varying ages, before a final finishing in seasoned Chenin Blanc casks for two years. This Chenin Blanc cask finishing results in a bright and flavorful malt whisky with a remarkable combination of spice, tropical fruit, and zesty lemon.
