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 4 Jerez

The Founders’ Casks Expression 4 is finished in Oloroso sherry casks from the city of Jerez in southern Spain.  Perfect for whisky lovers who can’t get enough of warm holiday sweet, this expression is bottled straight from the cask at 55.8% ABV and non-chill filtered for full flavour integrity.

Tasting Notes

We drew samples of this The Founders’ Casks Expression 4 and through a panel of 12 whisky enthusiasts, we created these collective tastings notes.

Aged sherry saturates the nose with a rich bouquet of sultanas, nutmeg and dates, which are held aloft on a light base of toasted oak.  A final waft of orange peel announces a honeyed palate that brims with dried fruits, berries and plums, topped off with hazelnuts and sharp pepper.  The finish is dry and oaky, powdered with an earthy dash of cacao.

The Packaging

As with all bottles in this series, it comes with an ultra premium box to display your bottle.  The packaging also names everyone that was involved in our project, at the point of creating these whiskies.
