Kirsch Import and Signatory Vintage have set out to offer fans of bonfire, smoke and peat aromas \u003cstrong\u003ea variety of new taste nuances\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result of this collaboration is a \u003cstrong\u003esix-part, limited whisky series\u003c\/strong\u003e for the German market, which, in addition to strong smoky notes and aromas of sea salt and spray, plays the \u003cstrong\u003eentire range of sherry, wine and fruit notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: the \u003cstrong\u003eLedaig Cuvée Series\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarrying single malts into outstanding cuvées is probably one of the \u003cstrong\u003egreatest challenges in the whisky world\u003c\/strong\u003e. Finesse is required when it comes to selecting harmonious casks. Andrew Symington of Signatory Vintage is world-renowned for his great talent in this field. In cooperation with us, the independent bottler decided for the innovative Cuvée Series \u003cstrong\u003efor the first time to take a rather rare approach in the industry: the marriage exclusively of casks previously filled with wine and sherry.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are initially \u003cstrong\u003eRefill Spanish Butts\u003c\/strong\u003e, in which the smoky single malts matured \u003cstrong\u003efor approx. six to ten years\u003c\/strong\u003e after distillation on June 7, 2007 or September 5, 2011. In selected \u003cstrong\u003eRefill Port, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Madeira or Côtes de Provence Hogsheads\u003c\/strong\u003e from Andrew Symington's wood treasure trove of over 10,000 casks, the Ledaigs received a \u003cstrong\u003e29 to 34-month finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. Finally, Signatory combined the whisky with half of the distillate from one of the Refill Spanish Butts, which was allowed to remain in it for the entire maturation period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe taste result is as complex as the process: \u003cstrong\u003eheavy smoke and fresh maritime notes complemented by intensely fruity aromas.\u003c\/strong\u003e With plum jam and strawberry, tropical fruit and overripe peach, cherries, raisins and berries, the Ledaig Cuvée Series promises \u003cstrong\u003ehighly aromatic enjoyment for demanding fans of smoky single malts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The eight to twelve-year-old cuvées were bottled at \u003cstrong\u003ecask strength\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least 60.4% vol. and are, of course, \u003cstrong\u003eneither coloured nor chill-filtered\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoble cuvées in the best Signatory tradition, newly composed by combining different wine and sherry casks – with the six smoky-aromatic bottlings, enjoyable autumn evenings are guaranteed for smoke fans.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ledaig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55868163817804,"sku":"6178","price":109.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/7235\/4636\/files\/114406-10-01.jpg?v=1762501523","url":"https:\/\/ka3irg-7v.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ledaig-2007-2020-signatory-vintage-cuvee-4","provider":"Feinste-Weine.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
