Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition 2022 Release
Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or double) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine. Lovers of Dalwhinnie will appreciate the way the fragrance of Oloroso sherry overlays, but does not mask, the heather honey distillery notes. Distilled 2006 and released 2021. APPEARANCE Pale Amber NOSE Fresh sherry embraces the maltier, more honeyed aspects of Dalwhinnie. Peaty and surprisingly, still heathery. Spicy yet drippy. BODY Light to Medium PALATE A big, spicy buzz followed by an impressive build up of very clear, well defined malt. After a quick burst of sweetness, a rich, grape effect moves in towards the middle. FINISH Lots of oak. Very, very dry with vanilla dominating.
Whisky Heroes Rise Of The Ardphroaig Mutant 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 55.9%
Whisky Heroes Rise Of The Ardphroaig Mutant 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky from Brave New Spirits is a distinctive Highland release that combines tradition with bold innovation. This limited edition single malt originates from the Ardmore distillery and has been carefully matured for a decade before receiving a unique finish in second fill Laphroaig barrels. The result is a whisky that bridges Highland character with Islay influence, offering a rare fusion of styles. Produced in small quantities, with only 490 bottles released, it forms part of Brave New Spirits’ imaginative Whisky Heroes collection, which celebrates individuality and adventurous flavour. On the nose, it presents an intriguing interplay of smoky vanilla, caramel and gentle oak, layered with maritime peat and a touch of medicinal character from its Islay cask finish. The palate is rich and complex, opening with sweet notes of toffee and honey before evolving into waves of earthy smoke, charred wood and subtle citrus brightness. The Highland malt backbone provides smoothness and balance, while the Laphroaig influence adds depth and intensity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering peat smoke, soft spice and a whisper of coastal salinity that leaves a memorable impression. Whisky Heroes Rise Of The Ardphroaig Mutant 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky stands as a bold and imaginative bottling, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate both Highland elegance and Islay power. It is a whisky that tells a story of experimentation and creativity, making it a standout addition to any serious whisky collection.
