TRIPLE PRODUCT RELEASE

We’re excited to announce the launch of our very last two Whisky Sponge bottlings, Edition 99 – Glen Moray and Edition 100 – Ardnamurchan. These final editions mark the end of our Whisky Sponge bottling series.

But that’s not all! As one chapter closes, another begins..Introducing, Decadent Drinks new flagship bottling series, Whiskyland.Confined to precisely 100 chapters, this series will feature the very best whiskies we can get our mitts on! We’re starting as we mean to go an and kicking off Whiskyland Chapter One, with a 1998 Springbank,

WHISKY SPONGE ED.99 GLEN MORAY

For our penultimate Whisky Sponge bottling, we thought it would be fitting to revisit the distillery that started it all: Glen Moray. This is a small batch, multi-vintage bottling of Glen Moray, made my marrying together a refill hogshead of 1990 with a 2nd fill sherry hogshead of 1991. The resulting mix has been bottled at natural cask strength, we think it’s a beautiful dram and a great demonstration of everything we’ve learned and tried to achieve over the past five years of bottling.

WHISKY SPONGE ED.100 ARDNAMURCHAN

For our final entry in the Whisky Sponge series we wanted to select a whisky that was unique to us, that was collaborative and that we’d had a strong role in creating. One which was top quality and also modern in the best sense, a whisky that was forward looking rather than old and ‘old style’. And we also wanted one that was sufficient in volume and affordability that plenty folk would get to try it, buy it and enjoy it. It’s a small batch, multi-vintage, 7 year old Ardnamurchan. We were delighted to work with the good folks at Ardnamurchan on this; we made it by mixing together 1st fill and 2nd fill, peated and unpeated, sherry octaves and then marrying that mix in a refill sherry butt for around six months. We finally bottled it with a couple of degrees reduction to 57.1%. It’s a wonderfully rich, peaty, sherried and concentrated Ardnamurchan with great character. We’re really happy with it and we hope you love it too and see it as a fitting end to the Sponge series.

WHISKYLAND CHAPTER ONE: SPRINGBANK 1998

When starting any new series, it’s nice to begin in style. It was important for us to have an impressive whisky for our first Chapter of Whiskyland, especially as this series will now become our flagship bottling series for the best whiskies we can source. That’s why we decided to bottle this Springbank 1998 as Whiskyland Chapter One, it has matured for 26 years in a 1st fill sherry butt, and we bottled it at natural cask strength. It’s everything you’d hope for from this distillery, age and cask type.
