The Twelve Year Pour
A closer look at why the Meridian 42 twelve year keeps its texture where most malts thin out.
Chill filtration removes the fatty acids that make a whisky feel round in the mouth. Meridian 42 skips it, which is why the twelve year still coats the glass at 46%. The oloroso finish is deliberately short, adding dried fruit without turning the whole thing into a sherry bomb.
