GlenWyvis Single Malt Batch 2018

Batch 20/18 is the second release from the 2018 vintage and the first ‘major’ bottling. Half-tonne mashes of entirely local Concerto barley were fermented for an average of 96 hours before being distilled in the squat 2500L wash still and 1700L spirit still. An uncompromising hearts cut was then filled into a variety of wood: – 15 First-Fill Ex-Tennessee Whiskey barrels from America add complex sweetness, – 5 First-Fill Ex-Oloroso hogsheads from Spain bring rich fruit, – 3 Refilled Scotch whisky hogsheads highlight the fragrant, spicy character of the unique new make. This single malt is chill-filtered and bottled at natural colour. 8000 bottles produced worldwide.

NOSE Soft white grapes, giving way to a jammy sweetness.

PALATE Vanilla fudge, sherbet fizz and pear drops.

FINISH Initial dark chocolate with lingering summer berry.
