Spanish whisky blends local tradition and modern craftsmanship to create spirits with a clean, balanced profile. Made mainly from malted barley and other grains such as maize or wheat, it is distilled in copper pot stills and aged in oak casks — often those previously used for Spanish wines like Sherry (Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez) or red Rioja. This maturation brings notes of dried fruits, vanilla, toffee and gentle hints of raisin, resulting in a smooth and elegant finish.

How to choose
For a richer malt experience, choose a Single Malt; for a smoother, more approachable dram, go for a Blended Whisky. Lovers of sweeter profiles will enjoy Sherry-cask finishes that add depth and warmth while preserving the grain character.
