BLACK TARTAN BATCH 21

Black Tartan Whisky has just released “Black Tartan Batch 21” blended malt whisky.  It is the latest example of the company’s dedication to quality over quantity in the category.  Created in Elgin over the Winter of 2020/21, it is limited to just 2,990 bottles.   The whisky, presented in a stunning bottle, is designed to offer balanced sweetness.  On the nose, it is fresh and spicy.  The palate offers vanilla and butterscotch.   The finish is smooth, sweet and warming.

FORMALLY KNOWN AS CHAPTER 14…
The English – Bourbon Cask Matured

After a lot of requests for us to bring back the ever popular Chapter 14 we have decided that whilst Ch14 is now retired, we would bring you the next best thing – a short limited edition run of a whisky that is incredibly similar. Those wafts of vanilla & milk chocolate on the nose followed by a luxurious soft and oily mouthful of fresh fruit are instantly recognisable as belonging to that old favourite that won so many awards.
