TASTING DEEPDIVE
This whisky leads with deep, warming sweetness—salted caramel and honeycomb - before rye spice and nutty richness take hold. Kola cubes and walnuts add savoury depth, while banana chips bring a gentle fruitiness through the mid-palate. The coastal Oloroso influence lingers on the finish, delivering subtle salinity, dried fruit and a beautifully textured, mouth-coating close.
WHO IS THIS WHISKY FOR?
If you love sherry cask whisky and want something with real structure and savoury depth, this is an easy yes.
It’s ideal for drinkers who enjoy full-bodied styles, rye spice, and whiskies that reward slow sipping rather than easy sweetness.

FLAVOUR MAP
WHY WE CHOSE THIS CASK
From our very first conversations with the Fielden team, one thing kept coming up: Cask 292. “Ask Charlie about Cask 292.” So we did. One sip, and it was a resounding yes. And then we heard its story - and we were amazed.
This is a 100% rye whisky finished for just over 2 years in a 45-year-old ex-Solera Oloroso Sherry cask from a bodega in Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
This is coastal sherry territory, where the Atlantic winds give the wine a signature minerality. That maritime character has transferred beautifully into the whisky, melding with the Oloroso toffee/nuttiness to create an insane amount of complexity and richness.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
With the whisky’s rich, salted caramel warmth and soft fruit notes, we’ve chosen two beers that echo and elevate without stealing the spotlight. Wiper + True’s Sundance IPA delivers a hazy hit of orange zest, ripe pineapple, and sticky pine, all grounded by a warming malt backbone.
For the perfect high/low pairing, Adnams’ Ghost Ship 0.5% Pale Ale brings refreshing citrus, elderflower, and a subtle rye spice that beautifully complements the whisky’s rye base.
Enjoy!
THE DISTILLERY IN 60 SECONDS
Fielden are redefining English whisky by shifting the focus from the stillhouse to the field. Working closely with British farmers, they champion regenerative agriculture and heritage grains to build flavour from the ground up. Their whiskies place grain character front and centre, resulting in spirits with depth, texture and a strong sense of place.
We chose this cask because it brings Fielden’s philosophy into sharp focus: expressive rye, meaningful provenance, and a coastal sherry cask that enhances rather than overwhelms the spirit.
