Three Ships 6 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
James Sedgwick Distillery
Tasting Notes
Three Ships 6 Year Old, the pioneering South African whisky, beckons with its alluring charm. Crafted by master distiller Andy Watts, this single malt unveils a captivating narrative of flavors. The nose entices with luscious raisins and syrupy plums, gracefully intertwined with deep muscovado sugar, creamy latte, and toasty vanilla notes. Charred oak, earthy mulch, and robust malty undertones lend a distinctive depth. The palate bursts with punchy wood spice, treacle sponge, and brown bread flavors, complemented by tangy damson compôte. Pinot Noir-esque fruit notes, bitter salted chocolate, and earthy herbal nuances create a harmonious blend. The finish lingers, with a leathery embrace, hints of spearmint, and soft earthy tones. Uniquely sealed with a cricket bat from Andy's cricketing days, this whisky encapsulates the pioneering spirit of South African distilling.
