Cask Maturation
Matured in predominantly bourbon quarter casks and barrels from Heaven Hill but were finished in some special casks from a famous Islay distillery. The casks used for finishing the Nidavellir are French Oak casks (European Oak) which were initially used by a renowned winery in New Zealand to mature their Pinot Noir. The wine spent 12 months maturing in these new oak casks.
