Tasting Notes
This limited-edition South African whisky, the Three Ships 13 Year Old Cape Ruby Finish, is a unique experience. It started in American oak for 8 years, then spent 5 years in Cape Ruby casks, similar to Port. Bottled at a hefty 53.6% ABV, it's non-chill filtered and boasts a natural color. Expect sweet, nutty aromas mingling with gentle smoke, hints of leather, and red berry notes. The taste delivers a rich palate of fruitcake, toffee, and a smooth, warming finish. Only 2,397 bottles exist, making it a rare find.
