Three Ships Whisky 10YO Single Malt 2005 Vintage

Crafting & Maturation

The whisky is made from peated barley and Master Distiller Andy Watts used the Cape winter months for fermentation to allow the yeast to follow its natural fermentation curve with as little temperature control interference as possible. He distilled the spirit in 2005 in copper pot stills before it was laid to rest for 10 years in a selection of older American oak to compliment the delicate flavours of the spirit.
