Raasay 2018 5 Year Old

This is a marriage of a refill hogshead and a 1st fill bourbon barrel. Designed to balance richness and sweetness, with the clear voice of the distillate character. This is waxy, coastal, full of bright citrus fruits and a delicate thread of peat. Extremely evocative of what I think Skye and Western Island malt whisky should taste like and a wonderful wee dram in its own right that shows terrifically for the age.

Ben Nevis 2013 10 Year Old

This is Whisky Sponge Edition 85 and it is a 10 year old Ben Nevis, distilled in 2013, aged primarily in a refill butt, and then finished in refill quarter casks for around six months and bottled at 52%. For this bottling, they wanted to round the whisky off with exposure to more air and to manage the reduction from cask strength in stages. They re-racked this refill butt evenly into four refill quarter casks. This exposed more of the spirit to air and enabled them to bring down the ABV slowly to 52%, which is where they felt the sweet spot was that maximised the Ben Nevis distillate character. The refill quarter casks also rounded everything out nicely while preserving the distillate character and without adding in yucky, vulgar woodiness!

This whisky tastes like cliffs and tidal waves. Please enjoy while wearing only a pair of hessian swimming trunks.
