Three Ships Whisky 9 Year Old Fino Cask Finish

Fino, which means ‘fine’, is the most delicate, lightest and driest of sherries. It’s matured entirely under a layer of flor – a thin layer of indigenous yeast cells that forms on top of the sherry whilst maturing in American oak butts bringing the sherry’s final distinctive aromas and flavour to life.

The seasoned Fino casks, hand-selected from Spain, lends a unique combination of flavours and complexity to this limited edition Three Ships Whisky 9-Year-Old Blended Fino Cask Finish.

Crafting & Maturation

A beautiful expression of a Fino sherry cask finish, the whisky is a blend of the finest grain and malt whiskies first matured for five years in older American oak before finished for four years in seasoned Fino sherry casks. Visiting the spirit at regular intervals, our Master Distiller, Andy Watts, witnessed the unravelling of extraction from the wood and selected only four casks which he deemed to offer optimal flavour composition. Un-chillfiltered and natural in colour, the whisky is presented in its purest form.
