delicate new make rather than a heavy one. That character is what makes a forty-two-year-old possible without the wood swallowing it: the spirit went into casks in 1980 and was left on the estate, and the wood involved was sherry-seasoned oak from Jerez with refill casks in the make-up. The exact arrangement is described differently by different sellers — one account has four refill casks married and finished in a single sherry-seasoned cask, another simply four sherry-seasoned refill casks — and no distillery statement settles it, so the page carries both readings rather than picking one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.
