老大雪梨桶威士忌 Lauder''s Finest Scotch Whisky Sherry Edition – Oloroso Cask

老大雪梨桶威士忌LAUDER’S Scotch Whisky can be traced back to 1834 and the historic Royal Lochnagar Vaults in Glasgow, making it one of the oldest blended Scotch whiskies in Existence.

After Archibald Lauder purchased the Vaults, the bar became renowned for having a barber shop in the basement where you could get a haircut with your drink. The name of the bar was later changed to Lauder’s and it was here that, thanks to his blending skills, Archibald Lauder also leant his name to the Scotch that would become an award winning whisky exported across the World. Perhaps Archibald Lauder was amongst the first conducting consumer research, in that he took on board comments from friends and guests on the ‘house whisky’ and kept developing his Lauder’s whisky until completely satisfied.

Lauder’s Finest Scotch Whisky Sherry Edition – Oloroso Cask is the first expression from the Art of Blending series. Drawing its amber hue and sweet palate from its time maturing in seasoned Oloroso Sherry casks. The individual malt and grain whiskies, which make up the blend are initially aged in charred bourbon casks. These are combined to form the blend and returned to Oloroso Sherry casks for further maturation.

Oloroso from the Spanish meaning “scented” has a perfect aroma and flavour which ideally compliments Lauder’s Blended Scotch Whisky making it a fitting first edition in our Art of Blending collection.

Nose: Rich, sherry sweetened with chestnut, banana and dark berries.
Palate: Sweet, floral and creamy with layers of mellow toffee.
Finish: Long lingering smooth finish with hints of caramel.
