During the early days of whiskey production in Scotland, whiskey that was matured in small quarter-sized casks proved to be the ideal solution for transportation and storage. The smaller casks also provided a greater surface area to volume ratio, which in turn accelerated the aging process and intensified the flavour of the whiskey.

Quarter Cask Reserve is matured in American bourbon barrel oak to produce a deep, moody and complex scotch whiskey with flavours of smoky peat and a subtle sweet malt spicy palate.

Due to the 6-to-8-week maturation time, there is more contact time with the charred oak that lends to lingering pronounced hints of vanilla, cinnamon and clove.

This whiskey should be enjoyed alone over ice or with just a splash of water to fully pay tribute to the unique flavour.
