CASK NO 885

Written By Ben Harley

SUMMARY

Reserved exclusively for visitors to the distillery in Seattle, Washington, this series of single cask releases features a rotation of casks hand-chosen by our blender, production team and various tastemakers.

5-Malt spirit in used casks constitutes a very small amount of our stocks. This type of cask allows one to explore the influence of roasted malts in the 5-malt spirit without typical fresh oak flavors. Another unique factor is where it spent a portion of its maturation—right here in Seattle instead of our rackhouse in Hoquiam. Cask #885 ia another step in the pursuit to identify the contributions roasted malts bring to single malt whiskey.
