Method and Madness Hickory Wood Finish

The newest imited-edition single pot still release from Method and Madness, exclusively bottled for the discerning UK market. Initially matured in a fusion of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, this SPS found its final character in carefully chosen hickory wood casks. Hickory wood is renowned for its hard, dense nature, and distinct flavor profile. It’s a type of hardwood that’s native to North America, and it’s highly sought-after in various industries, from furniture making to smoking foods, and now of course, in the world of whiskey. Its unique properties lend a strong, yet not overpowering, smoky flavor with a hint of sweetness that sets it apart from other woods.

The aroma is a delightful blend of gentle smoke, aromatic cured meats, and sweet honeycomb, while the palate reveals nuances of bitter chocolate, salted toffee and smoked almonds. The finale is smooth and full-bodied, leaving an enduring impression of woody spices and rich dark chocolate. Bottle at a powerful 58.3%, leaving lots of room to play with.
