Lagavulin 30 Years ‘Cask of Distinction’ #5403
In Diageo’s Casks of Distinction programme there’s a new Lagavulin 30 Yr Outdated single cask #5403. Solely the rarest and most original casks are chosen for this unique collection.
This Lagavulin 1991 classic is a “joint-CoD” bottled for a number of cask homeowners: the Hong Kong Whisky Fellows and Home Welley Whisky bar, along with Boris and Sebastian from Wu Dram Clan, and Christoph Kirsch.
The cask sort is attention-grabbing. On the label it says First fill Pedro Ximénez / Oloroso seasoned European oak butt. The cask was seasoned with a proprietary mix of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso – which technically can solely be referred to as Cream within the sherry area. Furthermore, since there doesn’t appear to be any point out of sherry on the bottle, I assume it was technically not a sherry cask.
I don’t know the value, I solely know there are 318 bottles at 44.3% ABV.
Longrow Pink 11 Years – Tawny Port Cask
The 2023 version of Longrow Pink is an 11 Yr Outdated single malt matured for 7 years in bourbon barrels adopted by 4 years in contemporary Tawny Port barrels.
It’s bottled at cask power 58.2% ABV, yielding 8700 bottles. Normally launched within the first half of the yr.
Supper Membership – Mortlach 25 Years (Wemyss Malts)
Wemyss Malts simply launched a web-based unique bottling named Supper Membership. It’s a 25 yr outdated Mortlach 1997. Matured in a single hogshead, solely 209 bottles can be found. The whisky curators chosen this cask for its characteristically savoury notes and alluring pepper spice. ¨At round € 250 I believe the value could be very affordable.
It may be bought on the Wemyss web site.
Bowmore Aston Martin collection (2022 design)
Bowmore unveiled the second version of its Aston Martin vary, which is unique to journey retail. For 2022 the three expressions are getting a packaging makeover, with completely different colors and new automobiles adorning the bins.
So far as I can inform the liquid inside stays unchanged. The brand new editions can be accessible from August 2022.
GlenAllachie 16 Years ‘Current Version’ (fiftieth Anniversary)
GlenAllachie distillery revealed the second and penultimate bottling in Billy Walker’s fiftieth Anniversary collection. It’s a 16 yr outdated whisky matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry wooden earlier than being completed in Mizunara virgin oak. It’s Walker’s first use of this uncommon Japanese oak sort.
The whisky is proscribed to 2900 bottles at 48% ABV.
Additionally attention-grabbing
Final however not least, listed here are some issues that won’t have been extensively introduced however that grabbed my consideration in outlets just lately…
By the way in which, I seen Grasp of Malt just lately began transport to most European international locations once more (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Norway, Denmark…). Attention-grabbing! Too dangerous they appear to exclude samples for now, in any other case I might undoubtedly prefer to evaluation a few their new releases.
