12 year old Scotch whisky sits at the point where spirit and cask influence are clearly defined, with expressions matured in ex-bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry butts, or a combination of both. This category brings together widely recognised distillery releases and independent bottlings, commonly purchased for gifting, regular rotation bottles, and entry points into distillery ranges.
