About this bottle

Dobson's Distillery introduces the Empire 8 cask strength whisky, a new and exciting offering. This whisky undergoes triple distillation in an Irish style, followed by a four-month period in stainless steel with oak slabs. It is then matured for two years in a shiraz cask, two years in a madeira cask, and two years in a chardonnay cask. The spirit is made with Baird's malt, and the name '8' is reportedly derived from its status as a fortunate number in Chinese culture.

James Rich 4.0

I found this one enjoyable. Pleasant lingering sweet notes of toffee and vanilla. A subtle smoky aftertaste. Where can I get a bottle?

Titus Brantley 1.0

The worst whisky I have ever encountered. It tasted like artificial sweetener.
