Cath-Nah-Aven Sherry Bomb Single Malt Single Malt Whisky bottle — Macaloney's Vancouver Island Distillery

Cath-Nah-Aven, Sherry Bomb Whisky

Single Malt Whisky

Whiskymaker's Signature Selection

Spanish Oloroso & Spanish Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks

PPM: 0

Cath-nah-aven pays homage to the great sherried whiskies from the banks of the river Spey.

Our award-winning Vancouver Island distilled classic single malt is carefully crafted in premium Spanish Oloroso and Spanish Pedro Ximenex casks from Andalucia, Spain. Married by our Master Whiskymaker, using local British Columbia malted barley, this whisky reveals a complex red-berry, plum, and oak nose, enhancing the fruit, floral, and sea-breeze notes of our new-make.

On the palate, this classic single malt offers a rich sherried body with a creamy mouthfeel. Sherried fruit cake, plums, and raisins are complemented by tannins and oakwood spices, yielding to a background of juicy malt barley.

This finish is long and complex, with a hint of sea salt befitting our island location and a symphony of diverse flavours, inviting personal exploration.

No colour added. Non-chill filtered.

Distilled, matured and bottled in Victoria, British Columbia.

100% Canadian owned & operated.

A great sherry bomb whiskey. When I compare it to the original bottlings of it's predecessor which had to be renamed, it is only lacks a slightly less depth of flavour and mouth filling explosion I remember. The original had a full flavoured finish that went of forever. This finish is great but not as re-memorable as the original.

Excellent dram filled with notes of red berries and a solid ginger and pepper finish.

Cath Nah Aven is my favorite whisky of all whiskies.

Lovely! On opening the bottle, I got a Luxardo cherry note right away. I'm also getting raisins, red fruits, sugared plums, and some baking spice. A blind battle with GlenAllachie 12-year came out in a tie.

Good juice. Stands up with the sherry-finished Scotch standards.

I have loved this for a long time. As a founder owner, it’s also one of my go to expressions for introducing Macaloneys to friends who haven’t tried it. It’s a sherry bomb , but also deep and complex and full of flavour.

Great nose and up front sherry explosion on the first taste. Good, long lasting sherry characteristics in the middle, but the oak is a bit too heavy and slightly bitter in the finish.
