Found North - Goldfinch First Flight 15 Year Whisky 750ml

Goldfinch First Flight is the newest addition to the High Altitude Collection, representing a masterclass in blending and finishing. This 15-year-old whisky begins with a robust foundation. It is a blend of 15, 20, and 22-year-old corn whiskies, complemented by a 20-year-old rye. With a grain bill of 91% corn, the spirit was designed to have high viscosity and a fruit-forward base.

The artistry of this release lies in its complex cask regimen. Two-thirds of the core blend was finished in Sauternes casks, which allows the whisky to blossom with notes of bright citrus and white fruits. The remaining third was split between Cognac casks and air-dried, heavy toast new American oak. The Cognac adds layers of orchard fruit, while the new oak thickens the texture with vanilla and caramel. Bottled at a potent 58.1% ABV, this is a rich, creamy, and deeply textured spirit.
