De Chronicles-serie: Editie 3

In the quiet stillness of our unique weaving shed converted warehouse, four casks rest, each carrying its own story, its own character, its own voice. Separated by time, united by craft, these casks were never meant to meet. And yet, through bold experimentation of our award-winning Master Blender, Julieann Fernandez, they are masterfully woven together into something greater than the sum of their parts. A story of time told in flavour.

Distilled in 1974, the Canasta cask is the foundation. It’s deep, wise and steady. It brings a richness that anchors the whisky, a backbone of dark oak and warm sherried depth. Disrupted by the sharp, salty swagger of the 1993 Manzanilla, this cask refuses to be ignored. It adds a maritime influence that cuts through the Canasta richness, bringing energy and edge, challenging tradition. The 2002 French PX Cask brings the indulgence. A hedonist at heart, this cask wraps the whisky in layers of ripe fruit, dark caramel and silken texture. It softens the sharp edges, lingering luxuriously on the palate. Then comes the wild card; the 2013 Rum Cask. Youthful, bold and tropically spiced, it is a rebel spirit that brings an unexpected flicker of fiery warmth.
