About
Aged in superior Chinquapin Virgin Oak barrels sourced from the Northern Ozark region of Missouri, USA, this Single Malt delivers robust notes of sweet spices and toasted nuts which join the peat smoke. Coming in at 35 PPM, the whisky has a sweeter style of smoke character, owing to the mainland peat from St. Fergus used to kiln the barley. After a lengthy 160-hour fermentation, the whisky has a complex character which stands up well to aging in Virgin Oak casks.
