The Oxford Artisan Distillery (it's in Oxford, we'll have you know) has a penchant for using intriguing grains to make its marvellous whiskies, and That Boutique-y Whisky Company has got its hands on a fantastic expression right here! This is a single grain whisky made with ancient heritage grains, specifically corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. What's more exciting is that the whisky is from the very FIRST CASK that the distillery filled! Distillery history, this! It was also given a finishing period in a Sauternes cask, imparting a helping of bright, fruity sweetness.
Batch 1 is a release of 189 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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Apple turnovers, oily malt, a familiar peppery rye spiciness.
Palate Sourdough bread, biscotto, lemon balm, thyme, and honeyed sultanas.
Finish Buttery on the finish, with a subtle herbal edge.
