About
Three Ships 13 Year Old Cape Ruby Cask Finish is a remarkable South African single malt that has garnered international recognition. Produced by James Sedgwick, this whisky matures for eight years in American oak before an extended five-year finishing period in Cape Ruby casks. The result is a rich amber-hued spirit reflecting the warm South African climate's influence, delivering exceptional smoothness and complexity. On the nose, sweet and nutty flavours interlace gracefully with gentle smoke, old leather, and a whisper of tobacco. The full-bodied palate unfolds with red berries, Christmas cake richness, and honeyed sweetness. Subtle spice notes of cinnamon and nutmeg add delightful warmth, while oak provides grounding structure. The finish is long and warm, with lingering toffee and honey notes that leave a satisfying impression. This whisky pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, sweet desserts, or as an elegant after-dinner dram.
