DOUBLE RELEASE: Westie Sponge Ed.4 & Whisky Sponge Ed.95 – Scotch Whisky News

DOUBLE PRODUCT RELEASE

WESTIE SPONGE ED.4 LEDAIG 1995
Our Westie Sponge series continues from strength to strength with the latest edition being a 1995, 29 year old Ledaig from a refill sherry butt. This is a terrific mature cask with great old school sherry character. It’s also pretty coastal, waxy and old style, the sort of dram that’s very hard to find nowadays. We were delighted to find this cask and thought it was the perfect representation for the Isle of Mull in our Westie Sponge series.

WHISKY SPONGE EDITION NO.95 SIDEBURN 30 YEAR OLD
This is our latest bottling of Burnside blended malt made by William Grant & Sons, which we are now calling ‘Sideburn’. It’s a multi-vintage, small batch 30 year old composed of a 1992 2nd fill barrel and a 1993 1st fill barrel, bottled at cask strength. We are extremely happy with how this one has come out, it’s a stunning, perfectly mature honey and fruit bomb that tastes pretty much exactly how you would hope 30 year old, top tier Speyside malt whisky would taste.
