Equipo Navazos Bota no 66 12 year Single Cask Spanish Malt Whisky 46%

Spanish malt whisky, selected by the same critical palates that made the La Bota series legendary.

Expert description

Equipo Navazos La Bota no 66 12 Year Single Cask Spanish Malt Whisky is a single-cask malt whisky matured for 12 years in Spain, bottled at 46%. Equipo Navazos started in 2005 as a group of Spanish sherry enthusiasts led by Jesús Barquín and Eduardo Ojeda, who found 65 casks of exceptionally fine, over 20-year-old Amontillado hidden away in a bodega in Sanlúcar. Together with a circle of friends, they bought one cask and released it under the name La Bota de Amontillado — the first in what is now the celebrated, chronologically numbered La Bota series. Since then, Equipo Navazos has expanded its repertoire to include white wine, brandy, rum and whisky, always with the same philosophy: finding and bottling exceptional, often overlooked casks.
