Glenwyvis Batch 20/18 at Inverurie Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News
The second release from the 2018 vintage, and the first ‘major’ bottling from the Glenwyvis Distillery in the Highlands.
Created using half-tonne mashes consisitng entirely of local Concerto barley. Then fermented for an average of 96 hours before being distilled in the squat 2500L wash still and 1700L spirit still.
The unique spirit was then filled into a variety of wood: Tennessee Whiskey barrels from America to add a complex sweetness, Oloroso hogsheads from Spain to bring rich fruit and dry flavours and finally, refilled Scotch whisky hogsheads which highlight the fragrant, spicy character of the new make.
