Oloroso

you into?

I went straight into kind of like the medium body fruity boys of Just Sly, but also like, you know, Oloroso was actually my go-to before I got into the whiskey world and then realized, okay, well, that's where 90% of the casts... being used in the sherry world for whiskey is using so that was also the nice discovery exactly and thanks to the wonderful bartenders that I worked with through like the Michelin star world I kind of pointed that out to me I was just like okay you may not be into whiskey yet but you love sherry so yeah here you go so yeah that was a lovely little aspect of learning on that side of things but how I got learning about Irish whiskey I gave up my entire career path and went to become a tour guide in Jameson Bow Street And that was the first Irish whiskey job nine years ago.

So if you talk about whiskey as a whole, it's probably about 13 years of when I started really talking about it.

Take me back to that decision.

This unique whiskey features a combination of five hand-selected cask types.

Ready? X-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry.

Fuck you.

I need to buy it.

Dark.

Golden.

On the nose, like, man, that Oloroso sherry comes out.

But the richness of those other woods.

Wolfburn Distillery has launched its third annual partnership with Poppy Scotland.

A 12-year-old single malt matured in a combination of Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon barrels.

15 pounds from each bottle sold will go to the Veterans Charity.

What have we been doing with him? So when we did it, it's about six years ago.

We did 10 different mash bills.

We filled American oak, French oak, Oloroso and rum casks.

Over the 10 different mash bills, we sold half of the barrels to independent bottlers, bars, hotels, and then we kept the rest for ourselves.

Oh, okay.

And then that Matsalem Oloroso Sherry.

Were

those English words you were speaking? Because I sure as hell

Yeah.

I've had not heard of any of them.

The only thing that I recognized you said was Oloroso.

Oh,

But when we look at the 16, of course, it is aged for four more years, which is why it has the 16 on the bottle and on the packaging as well.

But it's finished in first fill Oloroso Sherry.

for up to six months.

So it is a finished whiskey.

And again, this is complex.

It's not an easy thing to do to potentially use that amount of casks to construct a whiskey.

Once the whiskey is married or blended, it's put into Firstville Oloroso sherry casks for up to six months.

And the amazing thing about finishing casks, and I think this potentially is why quite a few people get confused about this, just due to the plethora of aged spirits that are now sitting or advertised as being finishing casks.

If I'm going to pick a Scotch whiskey, I'd pick Glendronic 1993.

Any of those single casks in PX or Olorosa, those are absolutely nymphs.

I'm going to need you to write these down.

I got to put them in my wish list.
