For the first Port Cask Matured Edition, released in 2014, only fresh Ruby Port Hogsheads were used, in which the whisky was matured for just over three years. By contrast, the second edition, released in 2018, used both fresh and refill Ruby Port Hogsheads that were only slightly older than those used for the 2014 edition. The third bottling, which has now been released, was created exclusively from refill Ruby Port Hogsheads, namely from the casks of the two previous editions. The whiskies contained are therefore almost 10 and 6 years old. This promises an interesting comparison of the three bottlings: increasing maturation age versus an ever-higher proportion of refill casks.
