Detailed Description
Albariza is the name for the white (‘alba’) soil in which many sherry grape vines grow. It is an appropriate moniker for this peated single malt as, after several decades’ maturation in American oak casks, the whisky is finished in Pedro Ximenez barrels. This gives it sweet notes of chocolate, raisins and dates, alongside honeyed peat and garden mint.
