Introducing Batch #2 of Strathearn's Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The Douglas Laing-owned distillery is keen to hone and invest in the whisky's character so it used the same cask make-up as Batch #1 – bourbon, virgin, sherry oak – but with less boisterous virgin oak to heighten the creamy, fresh elements of the spirit.
Batch #2 comprises a vatting of 31 casks, drawn from inherited stock and those produced under Douglas Laing’s ownership, and the single malt was bottled at 50% ABV with no colouring or chill-filtration. The whisky is presented in the brand's stylish acorn bottle.
Anticipate a rich, sweet nose with Sherry influence, orange zest, malted barley, and honey.
The full-bodied palate offers dark fruits, spices, toffee, and caramel.
While the long, buttery finish lingers with oak, ginger, and toasted nuts.
