Henstone Distillery 5 Year OldEx-Bourbon Cask Release

Henstone Distillery, with its establishment in 2017 in Oswestry, Shropshire, continues to uphold its esteemed position in the world of artisanal spirits. Their 5 Year Old Ex-Bourbon Cask English Single Malt Whisky is a shining example of their dedication to creating exceptional spirits. This exquisite whisky has been meticulously aged for five years, a period that allows it to fully absorb the intricate flavours and character of the ex-bourbon casks.

As it matures, the whisky embraces notes of vanilla, caramel, and a subtle oaky sweetness, hallmark traits of bourbon cask aging.
The maturation process in these select casks ensures that the whisky develops a complex and rounded profile. The natural characteristics of the English malt used in this whisky are enhanced by the bourbon cask’s influence, resulting in a harmonious blend of traditional English malt flavours with the unique, mellow sweetness of American bourbon. Bottled at 46%abv, This 5 Year Old Ex-Bourbon Cask Whisky retains a full-bodied character, displaying a natural colour and unchillfiltered to preserve its authentic flavours and aromas.
