The colour resembles strawberry wine, and the story is just as rare – this is the very first Madeira cask GlenWyvis ever filled, captured by Little Brown Dog on the distillery's own 5th birthday.
Expert's Description
Little Brown Dog buys casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them under their own brand. This time they got hold of a cask from the young distillery GlenWyvis. According to Little Brown Dog, they're rarely given free rein to explore GlenWyvis' warehouse, but here they found a truly exceptional cask – the very first Madeira cask the distillery ever filled, making it a significant part of GlenWyvis' young history.
The whisky is bottled at cask strength, 56.5%, non-chill-filtered and with natural colour, filled the day after the spirit's 5th birthday. Only 299 bottles exist of this release.
