About This Vino de Color cask

‘Vino de Color’ is one of the oldest Sherry Wines of Spain. And this cask – around 150 years old – is believed to be one of the few remaining to have contained the concentrated syrupy, dark, rich unfermented Pedro Ximinez grape juice and Dark Sherry mix. After rinsing the cask with water, The Whisky Cellar filled the cask with Blair Athol single malt for a finishing period of 3 months.
