This is the first batch of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Blended Whisky #3! The floating space gloves from Blended Whisky #1 and #2 have returned, and they've discovered another metaphor in the deep reaches of space - this time, it's an infinitely long length of chrome. It just keeps going on and on and on and on...
Batch 1 is a release of 463 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.
Waxy orange peel leading into juicy notes of old Armagnac. After a minute or two there's floral hints of lavender and gummy strawberry sweeties.
Honey, cinnamon and sesame snaps. Following that there's notes of vine tomatoes with a few flakes of sea salt and dark chocolate mousse.
White pepper and blueberry, tobacco and truffle oil - the latter pair going on and on and on...

Delightful on its own or with a small splash of water. Smells like heaven. Mature, rich, sweet, and full with a thick, creamy taste and a nice, modest hint of smoke in the back. A truly excellent blend of every character that makes Scotch excellent. The best of the last 50 bottles I've purchased. Will plan to buy more in the future if it remains!
It might be that I've tasted this alongside some more 'commodity' blends - stuff like Grants and Chivas - or it might be that there's somewhat of an 'under-labelling' going on here due to one of the components being younger. Either way - it's delicious.
