Henstone Single Malt English Whisky is an English single malt bottled at 46% ABV and matured in ex-red wine casks. For a novice drinker, that usually suggests a whisky where the distillery character of malted barley is joined by added fruitiness and gentle oak from the wine-seasoned wood.
Red wine cask influence often brings soft berry or grape-like notes, a touch of sweetness, and a slightly richer colour and texture than a more neutral cask style. Expect a malt-led whisky with an extra layer of rounded fruit rather than smoke.
