The Trojan is the first release from Exile Casks, a project by Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley to 'liberate' forgotten single malt casks. This 25-year-old Speyside single malt was distilled in 1990 and matured in a refill hogshead until its bottling in 2016. The name 'Trojan' refers to the liquid being distilled by one company but aged in a competitor's barrel. It is a single cask release, limited to 293 bottles.

Fruity, with a drier finish.
At 57.3% ABV, this is a notably strong bottling, with plenty of fruit and honey balanced by pepper and aromatic oak. The slightly drier finish, with chocolate and raisins, gives the rich character a welcome bit of restraint.
snowlinerambler14 SeptFruity, polished, and warmly spiced.
This reads as a rich, fruit-led whisky, with honey and polished wood giving the notes weight. The light biscuit touches offer a gentler counterpoint, while the finish sounds longer and drier.
