Three Ships Whisky Premium Select 5YO - 50ml

Crafting & Maturation

The whisky is a blend of malt and grain whisky individually distilled in column and copper pot stills. Inspired by the iconic Islay malts, this smoky, yet fruity whisky is matured for a minimum of five years in hand-selected American oak casks before being blended and bottled. The warmer South African climate accelerates maturation, producing an exceptionally smooth whisky after five years.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Layers of gold with a seductive sherry red tinge.

Nose: Robust and aromatic smoke which reminds one of Islay fills the nose and blends seamlessly with fruit, crisp oak and shortbread.

Palate: Ripe pears with a spiciness in the background and a powerful peatiness that fills the mouth.

Finish: Exceptionally clean and fresh, the full peaty character lingers with fruit, ending with warm spice.
