Bruichladdich 30 Year Old SMOS Director's Special
Produced from a single hogshead of Bruchladdich Single Malt Scotch Whisky which has been aged for just over 30 years. A super fine and pale aged beauty. The aromas make you feel like you are standing in a summer garden with tones of elderflower, nettle cordial and honeysuckle. The palate is honey water with more of the herbs, tarragon and mint expand across the palate while laid over a delicate spicy bed.
Bunnahabhain 1989 The Octave 30 Year Old 47.8%
Distilled in 1989 at the Bunnahabhain distillery and rested for 30 years in oak casks and bottled in 2019. 1 of only 60 bottles. Cask number #380029 For upwards of 40 years the team at Duncan Taylor have experimented by maturing whiskies in smaller casks with great success. Their research stemmed from the simple premise that there is more wood interaction with the whisky over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid melding of wood, air and alcohol. After a second maturation the octave casks have refined the whisky, enhancing its hue, taste, form and character. The flavour profile is gently expanded, a little more sophisticated with the commanding presence of a mature, well balanced Scotch Whisky.
