St-rémy launches Islay Scotch Whisky Casks

Dubai Duty Free

Exclusively for travellers through Dubai Duty Free, St-rémy has launched the latest addition to its Cask Finish Collection with a brandy that includes a maturation stage in oak casks that have previously held single malts from the famed Scottish isle of Islay.

The St-rémy Cask Finish Collection is a celebration of master blender, Cecile Roudaut’s expertise in maturing St-rémy brand in various cask types. The collection is true to St-rémy’s heritage in distilling, ageing and crafting French grape brandies since 1886.

Hervé Buzon, global brand director for St-rémy says: “The latest addition to our Cask Finish Collection joins St-rémy’s exceptional portfolio, and offers yet another unique twist to this premium taste, which we are pleased to offer exclusively to Dubai Duty Free.”

A light golden colour, the brandy’s nose is sweet, with a gentle peatiness delivering iodine, citrus and barley notes. The palate has great depth with further peat offering a warmth and finesse between soft smoke and barley. Fruit notes of peach and apricot balance with the richness of cloves.

St-rémy Islay Scotch Whisky Casks, the latest release in the Cask Finish Collection, is limited to only 1,968 individually numbered bottles.
