Halewood Artisanal Spirits has announced the launch of their next release from its Bonnington Distillery in Edinburgh, a sherry cask matured whisky with just 250 cases entering the market.
A Lowland Single Malt which is fully matured in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks, this limited release from Bonnington Distillery is rich, fruity and warming with a long finish.
Jamie Lockhart, distillery manager at Bonnington Distillery, comments, “I am delighted to follow up our inaugural launch with this delicious sherry cask release. The liquid itself is something that we’re really proud of – aged in Pedro Ximénez Casks and cut at 47% it’s bold, rich and full of flavour”.
Master Blender Jill Boyd added “We carefully selected 5 Pedro Ximénez Casks from our inventory for this bottling and I am delighted with the result. Our plan with Bonnington releases is to keep them small batch. We have exciting ideas for 2024 with further limited bottlings planned”
When building the foundations of the distillery in 2018, the team unearthed the ruins of the old Bonnington House. This historic finding has been a major inspiration behind the creation of the Bonnington brand and all future releases from the Bonnington distillery will now launch under the Bonnington name.
Bonnington Sherry Cask Release Single Malt is rolling out across specialist whisky retailers over the next couple of weeks (including Master of Malt, Hard to Find Whisky and Whisky Exchange), ABV 47%, RRP £50-55.
