What it’s like

The five-year-old version of Three Ships was one of the first South African whiskies to gain international recognition. It blends mature malt and grain whiskies, with a small peated share, and has more body and depth than Select. There is caramel, ripe fruit, spice and soft smoke in the background. A balanced South African blend with character. Enjoy it neat or on the rocks.

Nose
Caramel, ripe fruit, spice and a soft touch of smoke.
Palate
Rounded. Toffee, fruit, vanilla, spice and a thread of smoke.
Finish
Medium, spicy and somewhat smoky, with a sweet hint of caramel.
