Let's take a closer look at some of the new expressions coming out of Scotland. From rich and decadent to fruity and bold, these whiskies are sure to tantalize the taste buds of any whisky lover.
First up, we have Glenmorangie Pommard Cask Finish. This 25-year-old single malt is the result of one of Glenmorangie's first experiments with prestigious Pommard red wine casks. After aging for over 10 years in bourbon casks, the whisky was transferred into Pommard casks for an exceptionally long finish. The result is a smooth and soft whisky, considered to be one of Glenmorangie's most delectable wine-cask finishes. It's now available exclusively at Heathrow Boutique, with an ABV of 51.8% and an RRP of £2,100.
On the island of Islay, Laphroaig Distillery has unveiled Elements 2.0, the second release in their exploratory series of bold whiskies. This new single malt showcases the impact of extending the fermentation period, resulting in a fruitier whisky that still retains the distinctive peaty character of Laphroaig. With an ABV of 59.6% and an RRP of £170, this whisky is not to be missed.
Moving on to the award-winning Highland distillery, Totamin has added a new expression to its core range - the 12 Year Old Sherry Cask. This whisky has been fully matured in sherry casks for 12 years, resulting in a decadent and rich flavor profile. It's a perfect example of the exceptional craftsmanship and tradition of Highland malt. With an ABV of 40% and an RRP of £52, this whisky is a must-try for any sherry lover.
Rosebank Distillery has also made headlines with the release of their final expression in the Legacy Series - a 32-year-old whisky. To celebrate this landmark release, a bespoke piece of orchestral music has been commissioned, inspired by the whisky itself. The composer, Des Oliver, describes the composition as evolving like a tasting experience, capturing the different aspects of the whisky's flavor profile. With an ABV of 47.6% and an RRP of £2,100, this whisky is a true masterpiece.
Last but certainly not least, we have Bladnoch, Scotland's southernmost distillery, with the final edition in their Master Distiller's Waterfall Series. This fifth and final release has been finished in second-fill Oloroso sherry puncheons, resulting in a rounded and flavorful whisky. With an ABV of 47.7% and an RRP of £140, this whisky is the perfect ending to a unique whisky making journey.
