About this Old Perth Limited Edition

Sherry uses a complex maturation system called Solera, involving multiple casks and fractional blending. In Solera, barrels are arranged in tiers called criaderas with each tier holding wine of a specific age, with the oldest tier, also called Solera, containing the most complex and aged wine, ready for bottling. When wine is removed for bottling, it is replenished by wine from the next youngest tier above, which is filled in turn by younger wine, continuing the cycle.

Old Perth Sherry Matured Malt Whisky is defined by this unique Sherry-making tradition, as Morrison's incorporate the use of five 70-year-old traditional Sherry butts, housed in Warehouse #1 at Aberargie in Perth. The privilege of being the first to mature whisky in these casks rewards Old Perth with forgotten flavours preserved over time, and internally, Morrisons refer to the liquid from these 70-year-old butts as the special 'Soy Sauce' used in the Original, Double Sherry Wood and Cask Strength recipes.

The Old Perth Solera Limited Edition really is a showcase. A marriage of liquids drawn from each of the five 70-year-old original Sherry butts from Jerez, ‘Solera’ captures 7 decades of the finest quality drinking-Sherry influence, highlighting the unique process and value created by Morrison Distillers and our Old Perth Solera maturation system.

A real experience: Layers of treacle, old book pages, sticky dried fruits & a lasting sweet finish. Think 'old school' sherry-matured malt whisky from the 1960's - spectacular!

All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Jamie and Brian release whiskies under three brands. Old Perth is their sherried range, and Mac-Talla is their Islay range, and then Carn Mor releases small batch whiskies from a range of distilleries.
