Turntable Whiskies 03: Purple Haze, 46%

https://youtu.be/0bE8-Mj09Is

Purple Haze! All up in my…glass? Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, but luckily, the whisky is as impactful to taste as that song is when you first hear it.

We have:

44% Balmenach in a Pedro Ximinez Puncheon

42% Craigellachie in an Oloroso sherry butt

14% Invergordon in an ex-Sherry cask

All of these profiles really work soundly together. They amplify each other and are very complimentary. But, it’s still Craigellachie that leads the way with its slightly salt, soft savoury notes, all backed up with that densely soaked sherry profile. A true charmer and a very, very memorable blended whisky.

Massive congratulations to Turntable Whiskies for this release. It is rather special!
