Naked Malt is a unique blend of Scotland's finest single malt whiskies, including single malts from Edrington's highly regarded distilleries. This blend is distinguished by its final stage of aging, where it spends a minimum of six months in Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks.

And as to why this whisky is called Naked, well we like this explanation from the brand, "At Naked we believe in doing things differently. We live naked and we are not tied to conventional whisky rules. Our whisky is made for celebrating that liberating moment when you can get back to the real you, the Naked you...

Changing the possibilities of whisky enjoyment, we have created a unique blend of the world's finest single malts, extra-matured in 'Naked' first-fill sherry casks. The casks are called 'Naked' because they have never held whisky before.
