Cask & Crown is the debut release from Horology House Spirits: a 14-year-old English single malt, drawn from a single barrel and finished in a Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select cask.
251 bottles. That’s the batch. Each one is hand-bottled and carries its own number.
Watch people like the facts laid out plainly. So do we.
Fourteen years of maturation, then a finish in a Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select cask. It’s an unusual choice for an English single malt, and the reason there is a Batch No. 1 at all.
As a single barrel release, the batch is exactly what that barrel gave: 251 bottles, at 43%, non-chill filtered, natural colour.
Warm caramel and creamy vanilla, reminiscent of freshly baked toffee pudding.
Smooth, rich and full-bodied, developing layers of golden syrup, honeyed oak and ripe raisins. The raisins bring a delicate fruit sweetness. Beneath sits a subtle wisp of smoke, adding warmth and complexity without overwhelming the sweeter side.
Long, silky and satisfyingly rich.
Sweetness, fruit, oak and understated smoke, in balance.
Batch, serial and the HH monogram set in a minute track.
Engraved seal, and the age: 14.
Kraft, carrying the House mission on the back.
A rounded 70cl decanter that lets the natural colour do the talking.
Every bottle carries its own serial, printed as “Batch No. 1 Serial” on the back label. Keep the bottle, keep the number.
Bottle owners will be able to record their number with the Register in a future update, so a collection can read, say, Cask & Crown, bottle 087 / 251.
