Scapegrace Release V: Fortitude Whisky

Scapegrace Release V: Fortitude Whisky is a distinctive expression from the New Zealand distillery, renowned for its commitment to experimental, high-quality distillation. This single malt is crafted using 100% locally sourced New Zealand barley and pristine water. Fortitude refers to the robust, uncompromised character achieved through its specific maturation journey. This release showcases exceptional depth and complexity, typically aged in a combination of carefully selected oak casks, such as ex-bourbon barrels and possibly New Zealand red wine casks, lending it a unique regional profile. Expect a rich, full-bodied palate featuring notes of dark honey, toasted grains, and sweet spice, often underpinned by a subtle maritime influence and a lingering warmth. Bottled at an elevated proof to capture its full essence, Fortitude is a testament to the innovation in New World whisky production.
