A distillery that doesn’t chase trends, but quietly sets them. The Fine Oak Triple Cask 12 Year Old is a lesson in patience and precision, matured in a dance between European oak sherry casks, American oak sherry casks, and American oak bourbon casks. Encountering it for the first time is like walking into a wood-paneled library on a rainy afternoon, warm, layered, and quietly elegant.
