Three Ships 6YO Chenin Blanc Cask Finish
Whisky : Other
Description
Three Ships Whisky is produced at the James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington, the heart of South Africa’s whisky production. Founded in 1886, the distillery is the only commercial whisky distillery in Africa and has built an international reputation for crafting distinctive South African whiskies under the guidance of master distillers.
The Three Ships 6-Year-Old Chenin Blanc Cask Finish highlights the intersection of South Africa’s whisky and wine traditions. After maturing in traditional oak whisky casks, the spirit is finished in barrels that previously held Chenin Blanc - one of the country’s most widely planted and expressive white grape varieties. This finishing period introduces subtle fruit and freshness to the whisky while preserving the rich malt character developed during its primary maturation.
Colour:
Warm golden amber with light straw highlights.
Nose:
Inviting aromas of honey, ripe pear and citrus peel rise from the glass. Gentle notes of vanilla, toasted oak and soft floral hints develop with time.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and smooth with flavours of malt sweetness, baked apple and honey. The Chenin Blanc cask finish adds subtle orchard fruit and light citrus notes, bringing brightness and balance to the whisky’s rounded texture.
Finish:
Clean and gently warming, with lingering notes of honey, soft spice and fresh fruit.
