This expression is well-known for it’s particular intense flavour profile, imparted by the maturation in Spanish Oloroso sherry butts and by being bottled at cask strength - this batch, it sits at a burly 61% ABV. Also, 63 is the atomic number of Europium. That’s a fun fact that you can bring to parties alongside this bottle. Much better than turning up with no facts and tasty whisky.
