Since it was a fresh cask that hadn’t previously been used to age scotch, it imparted an extraordinarily rich, intense profile of European oak and dark Oloroso Sherry characteristics without turning the liquid overly bitter or astringent given its 55-year maturation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Cambria',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; background: #FAFAFA;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Cambria',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: #FAFAFA;\"\u003eWhat is even more remarkable is that despite over five decades in wood, it has maintained a natural cask strength of 50.6% ABV. Typically, the “angels’ share” causes the alcohol percentage to drop drastically over such a long time.
