ARTFUL DODGER WHISKY COLLECTIVE LAUNCHED NEW INDEPENDENT BOTTLER

Fine wine and spirits merchant Woolf Sung Ltd are proud to announce the launch of the Artful Dodger Whisky Collective; a range of independently bottled, single malt Scotch whisky.

The Artful Dodger declare they are:

“A collective of professional whisky thieves, dedicated to liberating the world’s finest casks, freeing them from the lips of the few and releasing to the appreciative. The rarest, most special whiskies do not belong in a dusty distiller’s secret vault, locked away from the deserving. We are sworn to save them, one cask at a time, and deliver to a select group of like-minded, ethically-challenged individuals.”

The first batch of releases are as follows:

Clynelish 20 Year Old – distilled in 1997 and matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead, bottled at 55.9%abv with an RRP of £119.95. The Clynelish won a silver medal at the Spirits Masters 2018 and was awarded 90 points from Serge Valentin at Whisky Fun.

Strathclyde 27 Year Old – distilled in 1990 and matured in an ex-bourbon barrel, bottled at 51.8%abv with an RRP of £81.95.

Glenturret 23 Year Old – distilled in1994 and matured in an ex-Pedro Ximinez octave, bottled at 50.7%abv with an RRP of £94.95. The Glenturret won a gold medal at the Spirits Masters 2018.

Port Charlotte 8 Year Old – distilled in 2009 and matured in an ex-Sauternes cask, bottled at 64.2%abv with an RRP of £64.95.

Bimber London New Make Spirit – made from 100% English barley and bottled at 63.5%abv with an RRP of £44.95.

Each release is bottled in 50cl apothecary bottles with conical cork stoppers and a torn label design. The gift box is made entirely from black foam with gold typography. The foam perfectly protects the bottle when in transit whilst retaining a striking presence on the shelf. The whisky has been left at natural cask-strength and has not been chill-filtered or had any artificial colouring added to it. The Artful Dodger Whisky Collective is available from select retailers.
