"You come to Scotland, yer getting battered", the brilliant words of Allaster McKallaster, much adored for his self-described 'unbiased', and utterly hilarious Scottish football commentary. But not true if you're a grain of barley, no one batters barley, in fact, the moment Scots folk set eyes on a grain of barley, they distill it! Precisely what happened here, and what we end up with is a superb blended Scotch whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, released in collaboration with the beloved McKallaster, right in time for the Euros! The whisky itself is 100% Scottish, though the folks at Boutique-y reckon it's probably spent a bit of time knocking about in a European oak cask before bottling, and it's got a gold top that's almost as shiny as the European Cup itself. Ya beauty.
A release of 304 bottles.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends, all adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels. The brand won Spirits Bottler of the Year at the 2023 Spirits Business Awards, and Blender of the Year went to Sam Simmons, captain of the Boutique-y clan who oversees every one of these releases.
Fresh, zesty orange peels and citrus blossom, with a touch of grassy malt nestling beneath.
Flapjack, toffee apples, a whisper of smoke and new leather.
A balance of sweet toasted oats and caramel with savoury spice and mellow oak.

Bought this because of the quirky connection to the hilarious AMc of course but was pleasantly surprised at the smooth taste, that is conclusive.
In my unbiased opinion, this is the best whisky I've ever tasted. Once I had my first sip I had to finish the whole bottle. Please send more.
