After 10 years of bringing us spectacular independently bottled single-cask, small-batch, limited-edition whiskies, That Boutique-y Whisky Company is growing its own core range. Each one comes in a 700ml bottle, and this one has a lovely horse on the label! The breed is actually a Connemara Pony, but we think you'll agree, it's lovely.
Ready to come galloping toward your gullet, this generously aged 21 year old Irish whiskey combines a marriage of malt and grain whiskies matured in rum barrels, refill bourbon hogsheads, and Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry butts for an elegant profile layered with soft stone fruits, runny honey, and vanilla.
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Tropical notes of pineapple, banana, and peach join juicy pears, drizzled with runny vanilla honey.
Palate The exotic fruits continue, with more layers of banana, ripe mango, and guava. Candied nuts and burnt brown sugar join woody spices beneath.
Finish Dry spice, a hint of pungent green tea, and elegant, mellow old oak.
