Reference Series II.2 3cl Whisky

The Reference Series grows a little larger with the release of II.2, which takes the exact recipe of II (a balanced blended malt of youthful and well-aged whiskies) and then introduces 10% heavily peated Islay single malt. The reasoning behind this is that you can compare II.2 to the 'control' whisky, Reference Series II, and see for yourself how this peated influence impacts on your experience in the glass.

This is the very crux of the Reference Series - it gives insight into how changes in composition or techniques used can affect a whisky's flavour profile by allowing you to always refer back to the unchanged 'control' expressions. Neat, eh?
