The Monbazillac Cask Finish is a new bottling in our Cask Finish range. After pre-aging in a French oak Chardonnay cask, the single malt was transferred to a Monbazillac sweet wine cask from France for a further 14 months of maturation. Monbazillac is a wine-growing region in the south-east of France, surrounding several communes around the village of Monbazillac of the same name. This region is known for its intense and long-lived sweet wines, similar to Sauternes wines. Monbazillac is traditionally made from noble rot grapes of the Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle varieties, which are harvested by hand This whisky was distilled in October 2016 and bottled in January 2023.
The bottling is limited to 473 bottles.
