Product Highlights
-
Description: Built on Two Stacks’ intricate signature five-part blend—which meticulously marries grain, single malt, pot still, and peated malt whiskies—this expression is finished in hand-selected Sauternes wine casks. The sweet, botrytized white wine wood imparts an elegant layer of golden syrup and white stone-fruit complexity, effortlessly rounding out the intense heat of its cask-strength proof.

Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Highly aromatic and sweet, opening with ripe yellow peaches, wild honey, lemon curd, and a soft background note of toasted brioche.
-
Palate: Full-bodied, velvety, and rich. Concentrated flavors of candied apricot, golden raisins, and creamy vanilla custard are balanced by a lively mid-palate burst of white pepper, nutmeg, and a whisper of clean campfire smoke.
-
Finish: Long, bright, and warming, trailing off with a crisp grape skin dryness, sweet honeyed malt, and a lingering touch of ginger spice.
-
-
Pairing Suggestions: An absolute natural alongside rich, savory-sweet pairings like a creamy foie gras torchon, pan-seared duck breast, or a salty blue cheese. It also elegantly matches lighter desserts such as lemon meringue tart, almond cake, or fresh peaches with cream.
