The three miniatures are presented in a smart gift box and come with tasting notes for each whisky.

A great way to understand the impact of cask maturation by exploring the same spirit aged in three different casks for the same duration: Ex-Bourbon, Ex-Bordeaux & Ex-Oloroso Sherry.

The Ex-Bourbon expression is matured solely in a single American White Oak cask, giving it a light golden hue. It has a sweet vanilla aroma and notes of toffee, crème brûlée and marshmallow on the palate.

The Ex-Bordeaux expression is a smooth and well-balanced whisky. Distilled in a barrel from the Bordeaux region of France, this expression takes on aromas of the highest-quality French red wine. Expect soft fruit on the nose and wine gum fruit flavours on the palate with a hint of coconut and chocolate.

The Ex-Oloroso Sherry expression is distilled in our beautiful copper still from the Jerez region of Spain. The barrel imparts beautifully sweet and rich flavours on the whisky, with notes of sherry, hazelnut, marzipan and sultanas on the palate complemented by a full, fruity aroma.

All ingredients including barley and spring water are from Dartmoor National Park. All Dartmoor Whisky is distilled in Bovey Tracey, the gateway to Dartmoor.
