A particularly interesting indie bottling here from That Boutique-y Spirits Company, produced at Bristol's very own Circumstance Distillery. The team has created some marvellously innovative spirits, with a focus of organic grains and long fermentations. For this expression, Circumstance has used a wheat spirit, but intriguingly, it's been aged in a drum with oak spindles suspended in the spirit for 40 days. You can see the team on the label, along with Isambard Kingdom Brunel, designer of one of Bristol's most well-known landmarks, Clifton Suspension Bridge. In fact, a rather mysterious figure appears to be doing some graffiti of Clifton Suspension Bridge in the background too...
Batch 1 is a release of 88 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Softly toasted rye bread, flinty minerals, a hint of sweet ginger.
Honey and brown sugar develop on the palate, with savoury grain hints lasting throughout.
Subtly buttery, with a crackle of peppercorn.
