More from Three Ships South African Whisky
On the eve of the millennium, Master Distiller Andy Watts had the vision and foresight to begin the creation of what would become the first-ever 21 year old Three Ships Whisky. Matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon, 5 years in 300-litre hogsheads, then Oloroso casks, before finally back to older ex-bourbon oak. Only 1,202 bottles were released. Bottled at 51.8%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Nutmeg, roasted nuts, sherry sweetness, coffee, whole dried coriander, earthy with whiffs of sea breeze saltiness.
Palate: Warm with peppery, savoury aromas and lingering nutmeg and spice.
Finish: Salty with an impressive softness of spice and delicate sweetness.
