Three Ships 10 Year Old Limited Release Single Malt South African Whisky

Wine information: Three Ships has come a long way since Captain James Sedgwick first sailed into the Cape as the master of the clipper "Undine" in 1850. Nine years later, he established J. Sedgwick & Co., purveyor of quality liquor, tobacco and cigars. In 1886, the distillery in Wellington, South Africa, was purchased ... and the rest is history.  Today, over two centuries later, Three Ships Whisky is a world-class whisky produced at the 'state-of-the-art' James Sedgwick Distillery in the heart of the Cape Winelands, and is the preferred choice for local connoisseurs. This latest offering has been matured for the full 10 years in various aged American oak casks differing from its predecessor that spent its last two years in ex Sherry casks. Master Distiller Andy Watts says the older small wood has contributed to the exceptional smoothness of this whisky whilst the wood, being American oak, gives a slight sweetness. “With its natural warm copper colour, this full-bodied, round whisky has a hint of peat but without associated smoke. The estery notes add a slightly sweet fragrance hinting of dried fruit and fudge. It has a long, warm finish with a good balance between the wood and the whisky,” says Watts. Each of the 8 000 bottles of the Three Ships 10-year-old Single Malt Whisky will be available in a limited edition collector’s tin to commemorate intrepid explorers who set foot on the Cape coast. Among these individuals are Bartholomew Diaz, Vasco da Gama and Jan van Riebeeck and the tins will tell the story of their pioneering journeys.
