Distillery Info
The history of the Angel’s Share in Whisky dates back centuries to the Medieval era. During the ageing process, spirit that evaporates into the air and perfumes the distillery was said to be an offering to the angels. Over the centuries, the Angel’s Share has become an important part of the Whisky making process, and at Imbue Distillery we certainly embrace it as an essential part of creating a truly exceptional spirit that requires the utmost time and patience.
Inspired by the memory of a Triple Wood Whisky that Mick tasted years ago, our goal was to pay homage to this dram with a complex layered mouth feel and richness on the palate. Our single malt has been aged for 2.5 years, firstly in a Rye Solera barrel (previously filled with Bourbon) then an ex-European Brandy barrel and finally a PX Sherry cask. In between every barrel we’ve strategically cut the spirit and allowed the water to take on the essence of the oak so the spirit isn’t “shocked” in its final bottling cut.
