Whisky Oak: Many years of maturation in traditional whisky casks mellows the maturing spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness. First cask. Sherry Oak: Further maturation in European oak sherry casks increases complexity, bringing fruity, honeyed depths to the resulting single malt. Second cask.
