Description
This five-year-old limited edition bottling is drawn from two robust sweet wine casks (20/1627 and 20/1629). These two casks were initially filled with the distillery’s rich and smoky double distilled peated new make spirit on the 12th of October 2020 and matured for 3 years and 8 months in first fill Wild Turkey ex-Bourbon barrels, before being reracked into Passito di Caluso sweet dessert wine hogsheads on the 17th of June 2024. The whisky then matured for a further 1 year and 8 months, before being bottled on the 16th of March 2026.
Bottled at a robust 57.8% ABV with only 690 bottles available, this release highlights The Glasgow Distillery’s rich and smoky peated single malt style alongside the rich and savoury Italian sweet wine casks. Expect BBQ smoke, coastal maritime salinity, rich caramel and black pepper spice.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Coastal, opening with a gentle salinity and sweet, drifting smoke. Notes of sun-dried hay and polished wood emerge, layered with candle wax, bright lemon zest and an underlying earthy depth.
Palate: Rich yet composed, with honeyed sweetness carrying flavours of dried apricot and maritime air, wrapped in waves of soft smoke and smoked sea salt.
Finish: Long and satisfying, remaining rich and honeyed to the end. Baked banana and candied ginger develop alongside lingering candle wax and a mineralic smoky glow.
