prestige offering within the portfolio, created by bringing together dozens of

exploring the taste that best suits your palate by adding water, ice or your
preferred serve. It’s your whisky and should be enjoyed your way. For me, a
Cask Strength whisky really celebrates that balance between old and new and I
look forward to seeing how consumers enjoy the new whisky.”
