The Series<\/h2>\r\n

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.\u00a0 They are all 700ml bottles<\/p>\r\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\r\n

They include virgin oak, ex-bourbon cask, Madeira cask, port casks and sherry casks\u00a0 in various combinations to create what we believe to be some very interesting whiskies.<\/p>\r\n

The Founders’ Casks Expression 2 Baixo Corgo<\/h2>\r\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Expression 2 of the Founders\u2019 Casks is fully matured in the finest selection of port casks from the Baixo Corgo wine region in Portugal. Sweet and spicy, this whisky is bottled at full cask strength (55.3% ABV) and non-chill filtered for a creamy mouthfeel and full expression of flavour.<\/p>\r\n

Tasting Notes<\/h2>\r\n

We drew samples of this The Founders’ Casks Expression 2 and through a panel of 12 whisky enthusiasts, we created these collective tastings notes.<\/p>\r\n

The nose is bright with sweet candy, fruits and berries. Expect to find strawberries in chocolate, vanilla and a snappy mix of red apples, plums and spices. Smoothness defines the palate. Notes of oak and red berries carry the flavour forward, followed by raisins, juicy plums and a dash of cinnamon. The finish swells with a final rush of spice, settling down into a warm confection of red berries.<\/p>\r\n
