Sitting at 46% ABV, the whisky will be available in select airports around the world and at ‘travel destination’ the Ardbeg Distillery. We normally deliver products between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, unless by prior arrangement. We do not offer delivery on Saturdays, Sundays, or bank holidays, and we may have a reduced delivery schedule at various times of the year and during peak times, e.g., Christmas, we may have extended delivery dates. Given the sheer number of operational whisky distilleries, releasing a Manzanilla Sherry -aged whisky isn’t something particularly revolutionary these days. That said, I’d point out that amongst the main styles of Sherry, Manzanilla is one of the lightest and driest, with low sugar levels and often a tangy, yeasty, savoury character. These influences and flavours are significantly different from the more common types of rich or sweet Sherry used for whisky maturation, the likes of Oloroso or Pedro Ximénez. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform.
