 Highland Park / Viking Tribe. £45.00 Country: Scotland Region: Island Age: Strength: 46%. Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland/Orkneys. CATEGORY: Single Malt. DISTILLERY: Highland Park. BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling. BOTTLED: 2018 ABV: 46% Vol. Introducing Highland Park Viking Tribe, an exceptional and unique single malt bottling at marrying strength of 46% ABV. Bottling at 46% ABV (compared to 40% or 43% as is normal) allows the whisky to be filtered at a higher ambient temperature. The result is intensified flavours of citrus fruits, sweet vanilla and peppery spices, balanced with Highland Park's characteristic aromatic smokiness. The term 'marrying strength' refers to the marrying process, which gives this whisky valuable time to harmonise in the cask before being bottled. A deliberately slow and unhurried stage, long since abandoned by many distilleries, cask harmonisation remains one of the five keystones of Highland Park production. The selected casks are combined together with natural spring water to reduce the strength of this whisky to 46% ABV, before leaving the newly married spirit to rest in casks for at least a month. During that resting period, flavours from the different casks harmonise, gathering depth and consistency. |

In that time, they have opened a Visitor’s Centre, added two warehouses, grown from seven to 21 employees and their GlenAllachie and MacNair’s whiskies are now recognised as outstanding malts, receiving numerous medals and awards across both ranges. It’s now time for them to expand the GlenAllachie core range and showcase more of what their whisky has to offer. The Master Distiller, Billy Walker, has been working tirelessly on this new expression since day one; evaluating casks and refining recipes to create something special. We’re proud to present the jewel in their crown; the GlenAllachie 15 years old. |

 Compass Box / Myths & Legends I. £135.00 Country: Scotland Region: Age: Strength: 46%. Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland. CATEGORY: Vatted Malt. DISTILLERY: Single malt whisky distilled near the village of Edderton, Northern Highlands. BOTTLER: Compass Box. BOTTLED: 2019 NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 4394 ABV: 46% Vol. Scotch whisky has a rich array of stories, myths and legends. However, what start as myths can become received wisdom, influencing our understanding and restricting our enjoyment. We have deployed blending to challenge assumptions, biases and prejudices concerning Scotch in this limited edition series we call Myths & Legends. It may surprise some, but blending is as crucial to the creation of single malts as it is to blended whisky. Myths & Legends I highlights the extent to which individual casks are often unreliable authorities for the style of whisky made at a distillery; it is by blending casks together that a fuller picture of distillery character can emerge. Two parcels of malt whisky from the same Northern Highland distillery tasted markedly different: the younger parcel was malty and citrusy, the older one much creamier with a ripe fruit character. Two distinct personalities but from the one distillery. By combining these two parcels Compass Box have created a whisky full of fragrance with a more rounded complexity, one that provides a richer understanding of what this distillery can produce. |
 Compass Box / Myths & Legends II. £135.00 Country: Scotland Region: Age: Strength: 46%. Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland. CATEGORY: Vatted Malt. DISTILLERY: Single malt whisky distilled near the village of Longmorn, Speyside. BOTTLER: Compass Box. BOTTLED: 2019 NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 4446 ABV: 46% Vol. Scotch whisky has a rich array of stories, myths and legends. Myths & Legends II blends together malt whiskies of different ages from a single Speyside distillery. They wish to show how process matters more than provenance when it comes to the flavours of single malts. In addition to the aromas of tropical fruits and butterscotch you will also discover subtle savoury notes and spiciness. The distinctive profile has nothing to do with “Speyside”; process decisions made at the distillery, the effects of maturation, and our own choices regarding the balance of the final blend determine the whisky’s quality and character. Clues to a whisky’s flavour lie in the glass and not the distillery’s region. |
 Compass Box / Myths & Legends III. £135.00 Country: Scotland Region: Age: Strength: 46%. Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland. CATEGORY: Vatted Malt. DISTILLERY: Single malt whisky distilled near the village of Longmorn, single malt whisky distilled near the village of Port Askaig and single malt whisky from Orkney. BOTTLER: Compass Box. BOTTLED: 2019 NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 4564 ABV: 46% Vol. Scotch whisky has a rich array of stories, myths and legends. For Myths & Legends III we have taken some of the same parcels of malt whisky used in Myths & Legends II and added peated malt whiskies from a pair of celebrated island distilleries. Some would object to our actions on principle. Famous single malts are always too precious for blending, they say; the sanctity of the category seems to take precedence over quality. However, thanks to our parcels of well regarded malt whiskies, the tropical fruit and butterscotch notes of Myths & Legends II are now further enriched by a deep and enchantingly aromatic smoke profile. Never blend the famous names? The breadth of generous and complex flavours found in Myths & Legends III dismantles such superstitious thinking. |
