This deliciously fruity whisky enjoyed initial maturation in premium American oak ex-Bourbon barrels for over 8 years. Adding further complexity, the spirit was then transferred into specially elected Moscatel casks for a finishing period of over 42 months. A particularly aromatic dessert wine produced in Portugal, these Moscatel barriques offer up floral aromas, coupled with a silky-smooth mouthfeel. Delivering distinctive notes of tart fruit and rich toffee, this bronzed malt is one to be savoured.
TASTING NOTES:
COLOUR: Golden bronze.
NOSE: Waves of orange blossom, heather honey, and citrus, with notes of grapefruit, butterscotch, and caramel.
PALATE: Notes of dark chocolate, grape must, and plum jam, followed by orchard fruits, cinnamon, and honeycomb, with ginger and butterscotch on the finish.

A white agricultural rum, the Creol 52 comes from a 2016 vintage cane juice, fermented for 2 days and then distilled in a Savalle copper column.
