23 year old single malt from the Glenrothes distillery in Speyside, independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. The label features a reference to Biawa 'Byeway' Makalaga, whose ghost was said to have been disturbed when new stills were installed at the distillery in the 1970s. Luckily, he was a rather peaceful ghost and didn't take the form of a marshmallow mascot to stomp around Glenrothes, and he soon went back to his grave after a chat with a university professor Cedric Wilson.
Batch 4 is a release of 430 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.
Toasted bread with a thick layer of honey, joined by orange and blackcurrant sweeties.
Fudge, gingerbread and black peppercorn. A creamy hint of vanilla pod.
Nutty malt and soft apple develops.
This is like the very best of the Glenrothes Vintages - an extraoordinarily hyperactive malt that jumps out of the glass at you. All Gingerbread and spice. Loverly.
