61 NORTH Barrel #32 is the second release in our single barrel series. Another expression of the spirit with atypical whisky characteristics. 

Once again our pure malt new make spirit, double distilled on site, spent a short amount of time in small re-coopered French oak 20L barrels, previously used to mellow either Apera or Tawny. Following this initial rapid aging period, the deep, vibrant spirit full of sweet dried fruit flavour and oak richness was transferred to a very special single French oak ex-apricot brandy to mature and mellow. The result: a un-filtered truly original whisky, with stone fruits on the nose, heightened rich toasted jam like notes on the palate and a long pleasant oily, vanilla and chocolate finish.

Serve on ice for a gentle sipping experience. Most delicious in an Apricot Whisky Sour or try it in your favourite cocktail.



Tasting Notes

Nose: 

Soft stone fruits with warm vanilla and subtle spice notes.

Palate:

Reminiscent of sweet buttery, jammy toast of the malt character, balanced against warm spiced chocolate and vanilla notes.

Finish:

Long sweet, oily yet refreshing finish of toasted malt, chocolate and vanilla
