Whisky FAQs

Sherry Cask Scotch — FAQs

What makes a whisky “sherry cask”?
It’s matured in casks seasoned with sherry wines like Oloroso or Pedro Ximénez, adding dried-fruit richness, chocolate and spice.
Are all sherry casks the same?
No—Oloroso gives nutty, dry fruit and spice; PX drives syrupy sweetness and raisin. Cask size, oak type and time also shape the flavour.
Is cask strength better?
Not always—cask strength offers intensity and control with water; 40–46% ABV is more accessible. Choose based on your preference.
What food pairs best with sherried whisky?
Dark chocolate, blue cheese, roasted nuts, figs, sticky toffee pudding and orange-based desserts are classics.
How should I serve it?
Neat in a tulip glass; add a few drops of water to open up dried fruit and spice. Avoid ice if you want to keep aromas vivid.
Please enjoy responsibly. Sale restricted to adults of legal drinking age.
