The Series

The series consists of 6 bottlings, all released at cask strength and each expressing an individual aspect of our approach to whisky maturation and cask finishes.  They are all 700ml bottles

They include virgin oak, ex-bourbon cask, Madeira cask, port casks and sherry casks  in various combinations to create what we believe to be some very interesting whiskies.

The Founders’ Casks Expression 3 Kentucky

Expression 3 of The Founders’ Casks is fully matured in charred ex-bourbon casks, which are hand-picked for quality and potency straight from the source in Kentucky.  The whisky is bottled at a stiff 56.7% ABV (cask strength) and non-chill filtered to give full play to the sophistication of bourbon-infused oak.

Tasting Notes

We drew samples of this The Founders’ Casks Expression 3 and through a panel of 12 whisky enthusiasts, we created these collective tastings notes.

On the pour, this dram dances with aromas of malt, barley sugar and apples, rounded off with pears and a soft punch of melon.  The palate is syrupy sweet, well rounded and warm like vanilla sponge cakes, straight out of the farmhouse oven.  This expression melts into a comforting finish of brown sugar and toasted wood.
