Sutcliffe & SonThe Exceptional Malt

Sutcliffe & Son The Exceptional Malt - 2nd Edition is a blended whisky presented at 43% ABV. The mention of first-fill oloroso cask suggests a style shaped by sherry-seasoned oak, which often brings a richer, rounder character than a lighter cask-led whisky.

For a novice drinker, this points to a blend that may lean toward notes associated with dried fruit, sweetness, spice, and oak rather than smoke or a very delicate profile. It is likely to suit someone exploring fuller sherry-cask styles in an approachable strength.
