Woodrow's of Edinburgh Side-Burn is a 14-year-old blended whisky bottled at 52.0% ABV from a single cask. This release was finished or matured in a tawny Port cask, a style of fortified wine cask often associated with richer fruit-led sweetness and added depth.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller, more characterful profile than a standard blend, with the higher strength likely bringing extra intensity. The Port cask influence may add notes in the red and dried fruit direction alongside oak and spice.
