A living, breathing, south-exposed space, whose impactful seasonal temperature variations play an important role in the evolution of the casks quietly maturing there across decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cask is truly exceptional, distinguished by its chestnut hoops - a signature of the era when Delamain had its own cooperage. One of the oldest still resting in the cellars, it is a rare testament to that time.
