Reference Series II.3 50cl Whisky

Reference Series II.3 features the exact same proportions of youthful and old, rich whiskies as Reference Series II. However, you'll notice that the colour has changed quite significantly. This is because the .3 releases of the Reference Series address the use of e150a, otherwise known as spirit caramel.

Spirit caramel is legally used by distilleries and brands to achieve consistency of colour between batches whilst not affecting the flavour. However, some connoisseurs and aficionados feel very differently. With the introduction of e150a to the Reference Series II recipe, II.3 provides you an opportunity to taste the same whisky before and after the addition of spirit caramel, allowing you to form your own opinion.
