Tweeddale Whisky – What to do for Batch two?

Well the 1st Batch of Tweeddale whisky for 70 years is nearing an end. There are now only 120 bottles of Batch one of The Tweeddale Blend (10 year old) left in bond. Oh aye and case 1 containing the 1st 6 bottles from the 1st batch that are not for sale.

So what to do about batch two? Well it is back to my Great Grandfather’s cellar book and every batch of The Tweeddale blend he produced was slightly different as like me he had to work with the whisky that was available to him. Seven of the nine whiskies in batch two will be the same, from the same casks as batch one but two will be from two new casks. As we know every cask is different. Aye the perils of working with single cask whiskies to produce a wee batch of blend. Also I am planning to go for a slightly older grain whisky this time, my Great Grandfather was not limited by age statements (there was none on the original blend) but it is looking like batch two may well be a 12 year old so no more 10 year old Tweeddale Blend!

Don’t worry though batch one is still available from Loch Fyne Whiskies; The Whisky Exchange; Gordon & MacPhails; Masters of Malt; Vino Wines; Wood & Winters; Clyde Whiskies; Robbies Drams; Abbey Wines; Penicuik Wines and Royal Mile Whiskies currently have a promotional offer on batch one. Also the Good Spirit Company will have batch one of The Tweeddale Blend when they open next month.

There will also be Tweeddale Whisky tastings at The Scotch Whisky Experience shop this Easter Saturday 23rd April; at Whisky An’ A’ That VIII – Whisky Festival in Ayr on 4th June.
