When the distillery was reawakened in 2008, after a near twenty year period of closure, a rare collection of casks were discovered in its coastal warehouses. Chosen by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, each cask selected for The Serpentine Coastal Cask Collection offers a unique and exceptional sensory experience, speaking to the interplay between the natural environment, the fine wood of the cask and the hands of time. Cask #5640 is 49 years old and has the aroma of exotic fruit elixir with guava, white peach and coconut cream carried on a sultry gorse-infused ocean breeze. The taste is of silken waves of tropical sun-drenched fruit envelope the palate in a papaya, passion fruit and guava caress.
