New Cask Projects

As of november 2011 I had two new cask projects going. The cream sherry I previously held in these casks showed to be a little to much to handle for the poor 50% Glenglassaugh Newmake. So this time I did place amontillado sherry in cask 1/2 and fino sherry in cask 2/2. The sherries are

Burdon Fino
Valdivia Dorius Amontillado

So, hopefully these sherries will add some more complexity to the newmakes instead of hi-jacking the whole palate. And I also hope that using this new-make at 69%abv from Tullibardine Distillery, it will have some more stamina when it comes to keeping the wood influence at bay. The casks will be filled with new-make somewhere at the end of January 2012.
