The 2024 Sherry Oak 30 Year Old
The 2024 Sherry Oak 30 arrived with an artistic collaboration: photographer Erik Madigan Heck created abstract imagery of the Estate capturing "honeyed figs, chocolate orange and a subtle hint of cinnamon" — a visual reading of the dram. The whisky itself is the classic formula: three decades in nothing but sherry-seasoned oak, natural color, estate-matured. Official tasting: "Ginger. Orange. Woodspice."
