Introducing The Seasons: Winter – The Whisky Exchange News
THE SEASONS: WINTER
When we began searching for the perfect winter whiskies to add to our Seasons collection of own-label whiskies, we knew we needed robust single malts that could cut through the cold. The three casks we chose capture the feel and flavours of a cosy winter’s evening. Check them out below.
ORKNEY 2013
10 Year Old
This densely sherried single malt comes to us from the Orkney islands, bringing with it vivid notes of chestnut, cocoa, cedar and hints of demerara rum. It’s a great whisky for a winter’s night by the fire.
LAPHROAIG 2015
8 Year Old
An excellent example of Laphroaig’s distinctive spirit and sherry casks working in perfect harmony, this has a savoury edge that brings to mind smoked bacon and nori seaweed, alongside sweeter notes of cherry drops and marzipan.
BLAIR ATHOL 2007
16 Year Old
This Blair Athol has spent 16 years in a single oloroso sherry butt, wrapping it up in layers of dark chocolate, walnuts, dried mushrooms, cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s rich in texture and seriously complex.
