Three Ships Whisky 12-Year-Old Double Wood Blend is the sixth limited edition released as part of the Master’s Collection.
Master Distiller, Andy Watts, matured the whisky in double wood, the malt component over a 12 years in American oak and seasoned Amontillado casks. The grain spent 12 years in a combination of younger and older American oak and seasoned Amontillado casks. Although a drier style, the use of seasoned Amontillado casks imparted a wonderful sweet nuttiness to this impressive double-matured blend of grain and malt whisky.
Nose: An unravelling of toffee apple, nuts, lemon zest, marmalade, banana, dried fruit and coconut shavings.
Palate: Incredible combination of citrus, slight spice and cinnamon with salted peanuts coats the mouth.
Finish: A long, lingering, softly spiced and delicately sweet finish.
