Single malt whisk(e)y is distilled by a single distillery from 100% barley. Single malts can be produced anywhere in the world, although Scotch single malts remain the most recognized by the consumers. Scotland has one of the oldest whisky distilling traditions on the world, going back as far as mid 15th century. Today there are hundreds of operational single malt distilleries in Scotland, with new distilleries being built and math-balled distilleries being revived due to the world’s increasing demand for malt whisky. Scotland can divided into several whisky producing regions: Highlands, Lowlands, Islands, Isle of Islay, Speyside and Campbeltown. Every region is known for a certain unique taste profile of whisky, ranging from light and fruity, such as Lowland whisky, to heavily peated malts, such as Islay whiskies.

Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from multiple vineyards in Marlborough, New Zealand from both the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Texture and complexity comes from components of late harvest fruit, a touch of skin contact and partial use of French oak barriques and hogsheads. Part of the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The nose is expansive, complex and elegant. Guava, orange blossom and lime zest combine to give a lifted yet refined aromatic experience. The wine begins broadly in the palate, seeking all available tastebuds, and then expands further with notes of passionfruit, ripe pepper and candied lemon rind throughout the mouthfeel. Texturally, the wine is full-bodied, accompanied by sublime acidity that counterpoints the abundance of complex flavors. Superb on its own or with your choice of cuisine.

The wood has been naturally air dried, seasoned for at least 3 years, and toasted and charred on the inside. These measures allow the oak's unique aroma and flavor profiles to fully express themselves in each batch. This is a warm and rich expression with highlights of spiced fruit, nougat, honey and spiced chocolate.
