Thirty Years in Sherry-Seasoned Oak
The Double Cask range pairs American oak — for vanilla, citrus, and cream — with European oak — for spice, dried fruit, and wood — both seasoned with sherry from Jerez. The 30 Year Old, introduced to the range in 2021, is the oldest expression of that philosophy: an annual release that draws on three decades of cask management at Easter Elchies.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with honeycomb, sweet toffee, red apple, fig, and vanilla pod. The palate layers cinnamon, ginger, Madagascan vanilla, and dried fruits over oak, closing with a long finish of sweet oak, soft spice, and toffee.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a tulip glass, with time — a thirty-year-old whisky deserves a slow pour. Add nothing; the cask work is the point.
