NEW! Benriach & Glenlivet at Royal Mile Whiskies – Scotch Whisky News
Brace yourselves – it’s the 50th anniversary of ‘The Sound of Music’. Expect a sing-a-along at a venue near you soon! The perfect Mother’s Day gift perhaps? Alternatively we have the usual fine range of whiskies!
Also on the horizon is St Patrick’s Day. While we are fully aware that this usually entails the sampling of a glass or two of the Black Stuff, it would be amiss of us not to highlight the strong growth (not forgetting the long history) of the Irish whiskey category of late.
Elsewhere the whisky year is shaping up very nicely with a plethora of exciting new releases becoming available. Last month we had some very short lived Springbank, Highland Park and Glendronach. This month we have Arran, Tomatin, Benriach and Teeling, to name but a few.
NEW BENRIACHS & GLENLIVET
Not one to shy away from a cask finish or two, this delicious Benriach has spent some of its time maturing in fine Sauternes casks.
Heavily peated and PX sherry finished. “Albariza” is the chalky white soil, regarded as the best for growing grapes for sherry production.
GLENLIVET Nadurra US Oak £46.50
Nadurra fans rejoice! Glenlivet continue to treat domestic markets with great value cask strength versions, while in travel retail it’s ‘only’ at 48%!
