Conclusion:
Each single malt within the collection is exclusively designed to create an extraordinary taste experience. Concept No. 3 delights with notes of pear, cinnamon and vanilla. The whisky colour is California Gold, inspired by Carson’s roots, and the ABV is 40.8% as it was the optimum strength for flavour and aroma, as well eight as being both Polly and David’s favourite number.
The whisky itself has been created to deliver a richness from first fill sherry butts, enhanced by sweetness and freshness from ex-bourbon barrels, with balance and spice which can be attributed to the specially selected refill and virgin American Oak casks.
