Sans There’s been a single cask version or two of Fleeting, but this one is a combination of maturing whisky in two casks types. You’ll need a magnifying glass at hand to read the front label, which tells us the liquids spent five years in Oloroso sherry barrels, then six years in old barrels that held fortified Pinot Noir with an outturn of 1800 bottles. Couvreur is known for pulling some stunners out of wine casks, and the very dark purple ruby colour of this bottling anticipates something special. Likely to be a bit porty though not quite as sweet as you might expect. 49% Alc./Vol.
