Have you ever wondered what each individual metal ring on a cask was called? What about the bit of wood that goes past the head? What about the piece of fabric that goes in the hole underneath the bung?! Well, the label of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's first batch of 10 year old Ardmore single malt has them all labelled! The metal rings are called Chime, Quarter and Bilge Hoops, the bit of wood that goes past the head is the Chime and the fabric is the Bung Cloth (the one on the label is particularly musty!).
This is a release of 350 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.
Bonfires and Frazzles, though the nose manages to remain soft and well rounded. American-style pancakes with butter and icing sugar (and a few Maltesers dropped on top too).
Sweetness appears up front with gingerbread and aniseed balls. It follows up with earthy peat, wet grass and some cracked black pepper.
Brown bread with butter and a touch of walnut.

If pushed - I think I'd have gone young, very heavily peated Bowmore for this. The trademark 'bacon' is all there. Not sure what's gone wrong with the product photography on this one - my bottle isn't as light as this.
