Drayman’s Highveld Single Cask (Cask No. 10)

The man behind this whisky is an acclaimed craft brewer and on the strength of his early efforts this intriguing distillery is going to be winning plaudits from the world of whisky before too long. This single cask bottling steps over the hurdle of youthful sappy barley at its core thanks to a big dose of wine-influenced spirit which is liqueur-like; rich full and heavily berried. The killer though is the way the whisky goes up through the spice gears. €48 (Not available in the U.S.)
