The Lost Blend – Available Now!
“Distilled elixir of battle, money and high life”
We are delighted to announce the release of our new Limited Edition whisky: The Lost Blend. This elegantly complex union of two fruity Highland single malts and one peaty Islay single malt is a homage to our own ‘lost blend’ – Eleuthera – that we sadly had to retire in 2004. Here, ethereal fruit and a sweet, herbal character is buttressed by a lovely underlying smokiness.
Whiskymaker John Glaser has long had a name that he’s been waiting to use for a project like this—The Lost Blend, inspired by the O. Henry story of the same name. This sharp and witty portrait of life in a New York bar in the early 1900s was published in 1907 and features two business partners who try to recreate a blend of different spirits with close to supernatural properties.
We have created three different front label designs all around the same theme: lost items. The whisky behind each label is the same, and the three labels have been randomly bottled and put into cases, which allows you an additional discovery: which label did I get? Contact your favourite retailer now to reserve your bottle or, alternatively, just pick one up from our UK-based web shop.
“Above All, Share & Enjoy!”
* The Lost Blend is available now in the UK and Europe, and in the next month or so in Canada, South Africa and Asia. It will be released in the US on 1st October 2014.
