Over time the rarity and barrel price has seen a major switch to American Bourbon barrels by the whisky industry. Today there are perhaps only two distilleries that can truly be classified as 'sherry maturation' houses and this distillery is where 100% of the single malt sold still enjoys its primary maturation exclusively in sherry casks.
