3D Stereoscopic Cask Cask Strength and Carry On (Caskstrength.net)

3D Stereoscopic Cask Strength and Carry On (Caskstrength.net) is a blended malt Scotch from Caskstrength.net. It marries single malts from more than one distillery, Dailuaine among them. Single malt Dailuaine is rare as an official bottling, so most come from independents.

Dailuaine lends a soft, honeyed Speyside sweetness to the blend. A bourbon barrel held it, vanilla and a soft spice over the malty spirit. The full bodied make rewards a long, patient maturation in good wood. The rich, full bodied spirit takes cask flavour well, especially sherry wood. The slow loss of the angel's share concentrates the rich, malty core over the years. Its big stills give a heavy, full bodied spirit that takes sherry wood especially well. The distillery was founded in 1852 by William Mackenzie on the banks of the Spey at Carron. A first fill sherry cask suits the robust spirit, dried fruit meeting the meaty weight.

At cask strength 56.4% it is full bodied. Soft orchard fruit, honey and a gentle spice run through it, smooth and approachable. The texture is full and rich, the fruit lifted by a meaty malt. Dried fruit, malt and a savoury oak see out the finish. A characterful blended malt Scotch.
