How well do you know your Speyside distilleries? Perhaps you can hazard a guess as to the origin of this mystery single malt, which That Boutique-y Whisky Company picked up in an unnamed cask! The facts available are that it hails from Speyside, was originally from a marriage of refill barrels, and spent a generous 25 years maturing. It's a tremendous sipper that boasts classic Speyside character with honeyed fruits, rich malt, and elegant oak, proving once again that you can always trust those Boutique-y folks to sniff out a good batch of whisky and bottle it precisely when its good and ready.
Batch 3 is a release of 164 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.
Orchard fruits drizzled with honey are joined by vanilla shortbread, and a touch of citrus zest, while rich, roasty malt and elegant oak rest beneath.
Creamy layers of butterscotch, vanilla fudge, and rounded, biscuity malt, with soft prunes and tropical fruits in tow.
Juicy stone fruits and dried mango, a touch of fig, and mellow old oak.
