Hello. You're holding a bottle of OAK CROSS, our malt Scotch whisky named for the special marrying casks we use to age the whiskies. Our coopers put new French oak heads into American oak casks so the whiskies aged in them share the best flavour traits of both. We are artisan whiskymakers. For us, making whisky is like making art. You begin with an idea, a vision. You form it using both traditional practice and your own inspiration. Then you share it with the world. This is what we do. Through careful cask selection, artful blending of flavours, use of the highest quality oak and innovative thinking, we create delicious whiskies that combine richness, balance and purity of flavour. I hope you enjoy our work. Flavour: Notes of clove spice and vanila accent a sweet maltiness and subtle fruit character. Sourcing: All Highland single malts, notably from the villages of Brora, Alness and Carron. Wood: Primary maturation in a mix of first-fill and re-fill American oak. Secondary maturation in Oak Cross marrying casks of French and American oak. Bottling: Natural colour. Non-chill filtered. Recommendations: As an aperitif served with chilled water in the winter months. Full enough to serve as a summer-time digestif. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
Caramelized bananas, honey and sweet vanilla are on deck followed by sweet malty cereal. Chinese five spice and cream finish up the dram with a weightiness that is neither too heavy or too light.
This is a gentle, subtly complex, somewhat lithe, easy drinking whisky … I’m picking up evenly-proportioned notes of vanilla and coconut, with more subtle notes of clove, anise, and delicate fruit, all wrapped up in a gentle, malty body.
Very complex and exciting aromas on the nose. … The palate is musky and dry with the oak dominating the spirit but in a great and balanced manner. Long and spicy finish with cedarwood and oak shavings.
This whisky starts with a malty note that develops into hot buttered toast, … The palate gives some yuzu flavours, mixed with some delicate oak notes, which really develop into the main feature on the finish.
