We asked. You voted!

We recently invited you to have your say on a future limited edition – offering a choice of three potential peated whiskies to go into 225-litre Marsala barriques for an experimental finishing.

And the results are in…

The winner, as voted for by you, is malt whisky from the Laphroaig Distillery.

We’d like to say thank you to everyone that took part. We’re excited to share that the casks were filled earlier this month (July 2022). Now, it’s over to our Whiskymakers to judge when the whisky has reached its next peaty peak. We’ll keep you posted with an update before the end of the year so stay tuned!

About the winning whisky…

Distilled at the Laphroaig Distillery in 2005, and originally filled into recharred hogsheads, this potent single malt offers seaweedy and herbal flavours, with a bitter smokiness. We have already deployed other casks from this parcel in No Name, No. 3 and Flaming Heart 2022 (more on that release coming soon!). We see its savoury peatiness nestling into the ripe red fruit notes of the Marsala casks very nicely for a delicious balancing of contrasts. As for the finished result? We are just as excited to find out as you are…

Queen’s Honours List 2022

The Wolfcraig team wants to wish our Master Blender and friend, Richard Paterson,
a huge congratulations on receiving an OBE for his services to the Scotch Whisky industry.

Nicknamed, “The Nose”, as a result of his unrivaled talent for assessing whisky, it is no surprise that he has championed the title of Master Blender at Whyte & Mackay for over half a century.

On the day of the medal ceremony at Holyrood, he remarked that he hoped his Father, who was also a Master Blender, was looking down on him and is proud of what he has achieved.

This recognition and honour is beyond deserved to one of the greatest ambassadors of the Scotch Whisky industry today.

Slainte mhath, Richard Paterson OBE (now that has a nice ring to it!)
