Impex Beverages “You Won’t Believe The New Penderyns In The U.S. Lineup!” – Welsh Whisky News

The 5 Penderyn expressions available in the U.S. have been very successful and we are ecstatic to have these three expressions added to our lineup!

Available now and just in time for the holiday season!

The entire ImpEx team went to the distillery and was honored to select these as the next core releases for the Welsh Gold Series.

“I could not be happier to represent this amazing range of Single Malt Whiskies from Wales and to share the passion of the wonderful team at Penderyn who are the heart and soul behind these expressions. It is very rewarding to be able to have these available for US Connoisseurs and bring even more joy to them during the festive time of the year.”

~Sam Filmus, President of ImpEx Beverages

But these don’t come empty handed, all three expressions come with Gold medals from the prestigious IWSC. Peated took home the Gold Outstanding in 2018 (93 pts) while both Portwood and Rich Oak took home the Gold in 2019 (95 pts each).

 

 

RICH OAK – 46%

Matured in Bourbon casks and finished in a selection of the finest rejuvenated European ex-wine casks.

Nose: Dark chocolate fudge with cinnamon and pepper spices, followed by lush fruit – green apple, mango, banana, and guava.
Palate: Rich and complex. A creamy texture with hints of vanilla, oak, cinnamon, and a hint of nutty toffee.
Finish: A creamy vanilla flavor, which is in no rush to ebb away.

PENDERYN PEATED – 46%

This whisky has a delicate spirit with a medium peaty character and a light golden tone.

Nose: It introduces itself with sweet, aromatic smoke. Under this there are signature notes of vanilla, green apple, and refreshing citrus.
Palate: An array of gentle flavors tempts even the most sophisticated palate.
Finish: Smoke and vanilla linger on the attractive medium-length finish.

PORTWOOD – 46%

This Portwood-finished whisky is a firm favorite and a real attention grabber.

Nose: Aromas of rich dried fruits with dark chocolate and cranberries; a hint of toasty oak mingles with a baked nutty dryness.
Palate: A creamy richness with some honey and spiced notes emerging.
Finish: Smooth with a soft oak and honey sweetness lingering gently on the tongue.

Although we’re more than halfway into 2019, stay tuned for more surprises for Penderyn coming later this year!

Loch Fyne Whiskies “Introducing Ardbeg Traigh Bhan – New 19 Year Old from the Islay distillery” – Scotch Whisky News

Introducing Ardbeg Traigh Bhan

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan marks the first time in 20 years that Ardbeg will release an aged whisky as a permanent expression, with the plan to release a single batch each year going forward.

Seductively smooth on the nose, before sudden, intense and rugged flavour notes come to the fore. Its exquisite taste crescendo is a rush like a surf of salt, smoke, sweet and sour. In fact, these characteristics are a reflection of the shores that inspired this expression.

Matured in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks and bottled with an abv of 46.2%, this 19 year old Ardbeg is sure to go down well.

Talisker launches the second release in the Talisker Bodega series – Scotch Whisky News

Talisker launches the second release in the Talisker Bodega series

Talisker has unveiled the latest launch in the Talisker Bodega series, Talisker 41-year-old whisky, with only 2,000 bottles being released from August.

The Talisker Bodega series is an exploration of sherry cask finishes from the finest of Talisker Single Malt whiskies.

Talisker’s Master of Malt, Dr Craig Wilson, helped to craft the precious 41-year-old liquid, working alongside the Sherry Masters at Bodega Delgado Zuleta. The Sherry experts hand-picked only six exceptional casks for finishing, that once held the Bodega’s flagship wine La Goya, a very fine Manzanilla aged in casks more than a century old.

The result is a remarkable rich whisky, the nose carries the sweet fruitiness of sultanas and orange peel framed by sandalwood, with a tang of salty sea air and smoky raw sugar. The taste offers a fine balance between sweetness and smoke. The finish is generously warming and sustained, with a drying, softly smoky conclusion, an extraordinary 41-year-old liquid retaining the unmistakable character of Talisker.

Much like the 40-year-old first release in the Talisker Bodega series, the exquisite golden spirit lies in a hand crafted bottle that comes housed in a special Sherry-oak casing to evoke many stages of the whisky’s history and journey.

The Whisky Shop “The oldest Talisker ever released!” – Scotch Whisky News

New Release:
The Oldest Official Talisker Ever!

The second release in the Bodega Series from Talisker has just arrived and it is the oldest expression released commercially to date from the Skye distillery. Distilled in 1978, this limited edition has been aged in refill American oak barrels before being finished in Manzanilla sherry casks from Delgado Zuleta, one of Jerez’s oldest sherry producers, in homage to the type of whisky that would have been produced at the distillery in the early 20th century. Limited to just 2,000 individually numbered bottles, you can pre-order yours today at The Whisky Shop.

Don’t miss out on our very special Summer Festival Single Malt Whisky – English Whisky News

We’ve got some good news for those of you who couldn’t make it to our festival last weekend! Our very special Summer Festival Single Malt Whisky is now available to buy online and in-store. This release has a very limited availability, so head to our website now to avoid missing out.

This single malt is our first Port Cask release, and has notes of rich red fruits, creamy vanilla & dark chocolate.

Lovingly crafted

We began making this unique release the same way as our flagship single malt. High and narrow spirit cuts, following on from a long fermentation using two yeast varieties, are responsible for the high ester count in our new-make spirit, resulting in a creamy and fruity flavour.

For this release, we filled Ruby Port casks and premium first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels with our new-make spirit. The port casks were left to mature for 4 years, whilst the ex-Bourbon barrels were matured for 2.5 years before being finished in a Cream Sherry Quarter Cask. We then blended together 90% Ruby Port cask with the remaining 10% of the Cream Sherry finished ex-Bourbon barrel.

This special release has been bottled at 50% ABV, non-chill filtered and without any additional colouring.

700ml | 50% ABV | £84.95

Don’t forget – there’s free mainland GB delivery on orders over £75!
