A very unusual batch of Special Releases
A very unusual batch of Special Releases
It is known that at Wilson & Morgan we have some favourite distilleries, some staples that are very often showcased in our catalogue.
Sometimes, though, we like to stray a bit from the beaten path. We like to take you by surprise with some unusual bottlings, expressions from overlooked distilleries, or quite simply rare old malts from distilleries that we have always only bottled in younger versions.
The Special Releases lineup for this spring is very interesting:
Auchentoshan 23yo Traditional Oak 1998-21 (61.3%) W&M409
An old triple-distilled whisky from a Lowland distillery that is seldom found from independent bottlers, especially at this age. Very fruity and flowery, fragrant and delicate in spite of the high alcohol content.
Glen Keith 23yo Traditional Oak 1998-21 (53.8%) W&M410
The return of a whisky that we have already had a few times in our Special Releases: always very mineral, waxy and smooth, but with a peppery twist.
Ben Nevis 25yo Sherry Finish Oloroso 1996-21 (52.1%) W&M412
Usually found in our catalogue only in younger versions, this is the oldest Ben Nevis we have ever bottled: a very juicy blast of tropical fruits, absolutely unique in style.
The Speyside 30yo Sherry Finish Oloroso 1991-21 (54.5%) W&M408
Another overlooked distillery, very rare to find. A typical sherried Speysider, very balanced between its dry and raisiny sides. Dried fruits and spices are the trademarks of sherry cask influence.
And in the meanwhile, have you had a look at our website recently?
