Exploring this London malt bottled by Cadenhead's reveals a lot about the modern English style. At four years old, the ex-bourbon cask allows the heavy spirit character to show through with a distinct mineral quality and fresh grain influence. It is a practical example of how high-quality fermentation and small-batch production create a dense, oily profile that holds up well at high strength.
