Kirsch Import and Signatory Vintage have set out to offer fans of bonfire, smoke, and peat aromas \u003cstrong\u003ediverse new taste nuances\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result of their 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 spectrum of sherry, wine, and fruit notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: the \u003cstrong\u003eLedaig Cuvée Series\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlending single malts into outstanding cuvées is arguably 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 area. In cooperation with us, the independent bottler decided for the novel Cuvée Series \u003cstrong\u003eto take a rather rare approach in the industry for the first time: the marriage exclusively of casks previously used for 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 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 there 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 taste experiences for discerning 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 colored 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 through the combination of various 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":55868163916108,"sku":"6179","price":86.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/7235\/4636\/files\/114407-10-01.jpg?v=1762486557","url":"https:\/\/ka3irg-7v.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ledaig-2011-2020-signatory-vintage-cuvee-5","provider":"Feinste-Weine.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
