The first batch of single malt Scotch whisky from the Glen Keith distillery, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company, is here! But who's this on the label? Why, it's those chaps from that there Edinburgh Whisky Blog: Turbo, Lukasz, Chris, Tiger and Graeme! Which, if nothing else, is proof that people shouldn't be allowed to choose their own nicknames! (I mean, what kind of a name is Lukasz?) Jim Murray gave this a score of 90 Points in his Whisky Bible.
The tourists seem very excited to see them, and why not? Not only have they chosen some wonderful whisky to adorn, but their blog's logo is flying high above Edinburgh Castle!
Batch 1 is a release of 176 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains, bourbons, blended malts, and blends from a variety of renowned distilleries. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic-novel-style labels.
Green apple flesh and juice, sweet lager syrup (it's a thing), sweet pea and sugar snap peas (two very different things), a touch of pitta bread too.
Apple slices, honey and distant ginger biscuits. Quite rich but never in danger of becoming heavy.
Good length with a little more ginger and a dollop of treacle.
A gorgeous dram, it's really no surprise that the chaps from EWB selected it.

Good stuff thinking of ordering bottle number 2 the first one went so fast. Psssssss hey don't tell any one but if you live in the U.S. it's cheaper to order it from abbey whisky.
