THREE CASK INFLUENCES
Three cask influences. One character.
The official single-malt presentation describes a selection drawn from bourbon, refill and recharged casks. Different maturation histories in American oak come together in one expression.
Summerhall’s team tells of discovering this single malt while searching the Highlands for casks for oak-aged gin. A whisky found along that cask-hunting journey became another chapter in The Broody Hen story.
