Ledaig Rioja Cask
Tobermory was founded in 1798 on the Isle of Mull. The distillery’s main output falls under the Tobermory brand and is used in some blends like Black Bottle, but they also produce a smaller mount of peated single malt sold under the name Ledaig, the original name of the distillery. The Ledaig Rioja Cask is the first in the Sinclair Series, launched in 2020. Regardless, this peated single malt is aged in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in ex-Rioja casks.
Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask
Teeling Distillery was founded in 2015 and was the first new distillery to open in Dublin in 125 years. It was founded by Stephen and Jack Teeling, sons of the legendary John Teeling, all ancestors of the Walter Teeling who operated a distillery in Dublin in the late 18th Century. This Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask is one such pick, a single malt entirely matured in the ex-wine casks rather than the more traditional finish, and bottled at cask strength.
Westward Pinot Noir Cask
Westward Distillery was one of the early American handful single malt distillers. For over 25 years, Westward has continued to explore their craft on the West Coast as the American Single Malt landscape grew and took shape. The Westward Pinot Noir Cask has been a staple of the distillery’s core line for a number of years. Beginning with the distillery’s signature single malt, the liquid is then finished in French oak casks that formerly held Pinot Noir wines from Oregon’s Willamette Valley for two years.
