When the distillery was reawakened in 2008, after a near twenty year period of closure, a rare collection of casks were discovered in its coastal warehouses. Chosen by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, each cask selected for The Serpentine Coastal Cask Collection offers a unique and exceptional sensory experience, speaking to the interplay between the natural environment, the fine wood of the cask and the hands of time. The 51 years old Cask has the aroma of sun-dried raisin, blood orange preserve and maraschino cherry, with sandalwood, spiced vetiver and sea salt. The taste is of enveloping waves of raisin balsamic, blackberry jus and salted treacle infused with orange and sloe syrup.
