Malt whisky that has travelled overseas and back, bottled with the sherry world's precision.

Expert description

Equipo Navazos Single Cask La Bota de Malt Whisky Bota 88 Overseas is a single-cask malt whisky around 12 years old, with a cask history involving maturation overseas, 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.
