FIVE-YEAR SEPPELTSFIELD PORT CASK SINGLE MALT

In a quiet, dimly lit warehouse, nestled among towering casks of whisky in patient slumber, one small barrel held a story unlike any other. It was a rare 100-litre Seppeltsfield port cask, its oak steeped in forty years of fortified wine before a bold young single malt found its way inside.

The cask was small, but its history was immense. Over five years, the whisky and wood became one. The deep red-stained staves, once home to rich Australian port, lent their secrets to the spirit. Each season intensified the exchange – the summer heat pushing whisky into the oak, drawing out decades of soaked-in fruit and spice; the cooler winters tightening the grain, allowing the malt to reclaim its character, now woven with port’s decadent influence.

When the cask was finally opened, the whisky poured into the glass with a mesmerizing hue—deep amber with glints of ruby, a visual hint at the richness within.

Tasting Notes

FIVE-YEAR SEPPELTSFIELD PORT CASK SINGLE MALT

Nose

A wave of ripe dark cherries, fig jam, and spiced plums, wrapped in velvety dark chocolate. Beneath the
fruit, whispers of cinnamon, old leather, and toasted walnuts emerge, softened by the lingering memory
of the port that once lived in the cask. There’s a touch of oak-polished elegance, with hints of vanilla and
dried rose petals weaving through.

Palate 

Lush and full-bodied, the first sip brings an explosion of stewed red berries, caramelized dates, and
blackcurrant reduction. A silky layer of honeyed oak follows, rich with nutmeg and a touch of espresso. As
it develops, a warming spice builds—clove, star anise, and hints of dark cocoa—balancing the fruit’s
sweetness with an earthy, well-aged depth.

Finish

Endlessly long and satisfying. The warmth lingers with notes of port-soaked raisins, roasted hazelnuts, and
a touch of charred orange peel. As it fades, a final whisper of dusty oak and old cigar box rounds out the
experience, leaving an impression of age beyond its years.

 

This five-year-old single malt proves that time alone does not define greatness—it’s the journey, the
wood, and the soul of the cask that shape a whisky worth remembering.
