Fercullen Distillery Select 18 YEAR OLD Single Malt

Introducing our latest addition to the Distillery Select lineup: the second instalment in our quarter cask series, crafted from double-distilled single malt and following in the footsteps of our beloved Apple brandy finish. Aged for 18 years, this exceptional single malt has undergone a meticulous finishing process, spending nearly 2 years maturing in a handpicked selection of virgin oak quarter casks before being expertly blended to produce just 590 bottles.

Each quarter cask held 92 litres of whiskey and the smaller cask size means more wood contact per volume of liquid, which can significantly alter the whiskey’s characteristics. For instance, a quarter cask’s smaller volume can impart intense wood flavours and a rich colour more quickly than larger casks, which is ideal for imparting a bold flavour profile in a shorter maturation period.

Bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered and with natural colour.
