The Series
The series consists of 6 bottlings, all released at cask strength and each expressing an individual aspect of our approach to whisky maturation and cask finishes. They are all 700ml bottles
They include virgin oak, ex-bourbon cask, Madeira cask, port casks and sherry casks in various combinations to create what we believe to be some very interesting whiskies.
The Founders’ Casks Expression 5 Virginia
The Founders’ Casks Expression 5 is a celebration of peat, this expression is bottled straight from the cask at 52.1% ABV and non-chill filtered for full flavour integrity.
Tasting Notes for Expression 5
Obviously this Expression 5 photo takes inspiration from all the whisky shots taken in beautiful scenery….
We drew samples of this The Founders’ Casks Expression 5 and through a panel of 12 whisky enthusiasts, we created these collective tastings notes.
The nose is gentle, with soft aromas of vanilla and green apples which are brightened with mixed herbs and whispers of hay. It’s creamy on the palate, laced with sweet peat smoke and freshly scraped vanilla pods. These pave the way for amber barley sugars, which twist into a lingering finish of marmalade and peppery spice.
The Packaging for Expression 5
As with all bottles in this series, it comes with an ultra premium box to display your bottle. The packaging also names everyone that was involved in our project, at the point of creating these whiskies.
