“When crafting our latest bottling of Smoky Wedding Single Malt, we faced a delightful dilemma: eight mature 50-litre American Oak Ex Bourbon casks. Among them, two stood out.

Working with our friends at The Whisky List, we set about developing a first for Furneaux - a “Distiller’s Cut”. Through meticulous tastings and expert blending, we fine-tuned the ABV to a bold 58%, ensuring that the rich, natural flavors of the cask strength remained gloriously intact. The result? The best things about Smoky Wedding - its briney, smoky biscuitty sweetness (almost) unadulterated by the addition of water. Just a touch of dilution brought out the best rich and buttery profile of this whisky. Dangerously well balanced at 58%, it still leaves you with an oily, moreish finish.
