Product Description

MacRoys Sherry Finish is a blended Scotch whisky initially aged in “First Fill” American Oak Bourbon barrels, before being finished in European Oak Sherry casks. This finishing process adds a layer of sweetness and complexity, with dominant notes of dark fruits and warm spices. The whisky is standardized at 42.8% ABV, and its rich, deep amber color is a result of the sherry wood influence.

Suggested Recipes

MacRoys Sherry Finish is perfect for cocktails that highlight its sweet and sherry-forward profile.

• The Sherry Rob Roy

  • Ingredients: 50ml MacRoys Sherry Finish, 20ml Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  • Method: Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with plenty of ice. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a maraschino cherry to complement the raisin notes.

• Godfather No. II

  • Ingredients: 45ml MacRoys Sherry Finish, 15ml Amaretto, and a dash of orange bitters.

  • Method: Build in a rocks glass over a large ice cube. The almond notes in the whisky’s nose pair exceptionally well with the nuttiness of the Amaretto.

• Sherry Highball

  • Ingredients: 60ml MacRoys Sherry Finish and 120ml premium soda water.

  • Method: Pour over fresh ice in a highball glass. The carbonation helps “lift” the heavier fruit and chocolate notes, making for a refreshing yet complex drink.
