Our Fourth Batch was awarded World s Best Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2021, so the bar has been set high as we introduce our ninth release.
Guided by 50 years of experience and fuelled by his passion for wood management, Billy crafted Batch 9 with perfection in mind. A marriage of spirit from Pedro Xim nez and Oloroso Sherry casks, along with Rioja barriques and medium charred/medium toasted American Virgin Oak barrels, this mahogany malt sits proudly alongside its predecessors. Delivering classic Sherried notes of indulgent dark chocolate and dried fruits, coupled with sweet spices and red berries, this prized release is one to be savoured.
Batch 9 is bottled at 58.1%, non chill filtered and natural colour.
