Equipo Navazos La Bota de Grain Whisky Bota No 89 46%

The sherry world's most respected bottler turns its attention to grain whisky.

Expert description

Equipo Navazos La Bota de Grain Whisky Bota No 89 is a single-cask bottling of grain whisky, selected and bottled with the same philosophy as the group's celebrated sherry series, 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.
