Matured to perfection in three types of oak cask - sherry, bourbon and new oak - it is then married in our unique, handcrafted oak solera vat. The solera vat is never emptied but is always kept at least half full, giving the whisky more character, harmony and an intense complexity. It will be filled by hand especially for you. The handwritten label applied to the bottle and your name will be entered into the ledger in which we have recorded all the owners of The Distillery Malt from the very first bottle of the very first cask. The distillery malt has been bottled by hand at cask strength, with no chill filtering in order to retain its full character. On addition of water or ice a slight haze may occur. This is perfectly natural and does not in any way impair the quality of the whisky.
