Three Ships 12 Year Old – Master Distiller's Private Collection

South African Single Malt Whisky
70 cl · 46.3% vol.

This Three Ships 12 Year Old is a South African single malt that demonstrates that quality doesn't have to be exclusively Scottish. Distilled at James Sedgwick Distillery and matured for 12 years in American oak , this whisky is part of the Master Distiller's Private Collection —a range focused on maturation and balance.

The warm South African climate accelerates the interaction between whisky and wood, resulting in a mature and rounded profile despite its relatively young age compared to Scotland. The style remains accessible, yet offers sufficient depth and structure to remain interesting for the discerning whisky drinker.

This is no gimmick whisky, but a serious single malt with its own identity .
