Ruby Tuesday 28 year old Girvan Distillery Port Cask Uncharted Whisky
The spirit was initially matured in ex-bourbon wood before being re-racked into a truly exceptional cask. This particular butt was crafted in a traditional manner, with staves nearly 4 cm thick—an approach rarely seen in modern cooperage. The port cask had previously been used to mature old tawny port for over 60 years.
The influence of this venerable cask on the Girvan spirit is remarkable. It has imparted a rich garnet hue—hence the name—and an aroma that leaps from the glass.
Over 28 years of maturation, combined with the intense port influence, have led to a significant reduction in alcohol by volume. The angels have certainly taken their share, leaving the spirit at a final ABV of 54.1%.
