Diageo Announce 2012 ‘Special Releases’ Limited Edition Malts!

August 28, 2012 by Gary Leave a Comment

THE 2012 COLLECTION OF LIMITED-EDITION SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKIES

Well it’s that time of the year again!

Diageo has announced its Single Malt Scotch Whiskies to be released in limited edition this autumn in the Special Releases series. All are at natural cask strength.

As usual, the series has some exceedingly rare (and therefore increasingly sought after) single malts from the dwindling stocks of long-silent distilleries alongside expressions from familiar and less familiar working distilleries, but at unusual ages.

The eight single malt releases this year are:-

DISTILLERY	No. OF BOTTLES	UK RRP	COMMENTS
Auchroisk 30 year old	2,976	£230	The oldest Auchroisk ever released by the distillers. From a mix of American & European Oak refill casks filled in 1982.
Brora 35 year old	1,566	£400	Eleventh of a very limited series of annual releases. Vatted from whiskies at least 35 years old distilled in 1976 & 1977 and aged in refill American Oak casks (This distillery closed in 1983.)
Caol Ila 14 year old	limited numbers	£66	From a batch made only once a year,: the 7th limited release of unpeated Caol Ila, the first at fourteen years old, also the first ‘sherried’ Caol Ila released in this series. From 1st fill ex-bodega European Oak casks filled in 1997.
Dalwhinnie 25 year old	5,358	£185	Latest of four limited releases to be offered by the distillery, and the first of these to come from rejuvenated American Oak hogsheads.
Lagavulin 12 year old	limited numbers	£71	Eleventh in a series of special 12 year old releases from the original distiller’s stocks. Vatted from refill American Oak casks, each at least 12 years old.
Lagavulin 21 year old	2,772	£350	Only the second 21 year old ever bottled by the original distillers. Vatted from first fill ex-sherry European Oak casks each at least 21 years old, filled in 1991.
Port Ellen 32 year old	2,964	£600	Twelfth of a very limited series of annual releases. From refill American Oak and refill European Oak casks filled in 1979. (This distillery closed in 1983.)
Talisker 35 year old	3,090	£525	The oldest limited release ever offered by the distillery. Sixteenth in this series. From American & European Oak refill casks filled in 1977.

Commenting on the new release, Nick Morgan, Diageo’s Head of Whisky Outreach said:
“Once again I hope we have released whiskies here to interest very many single malt drinkers and connoisseurs.”

“The iconic 21 year old Lagavulin will, I’m sure, not disappoint those who have bought the previous highly-regarded bottling, and will be a delight for those who haven’t tried it before. An ‘unpeated’ Caol Ila from ex-bodega European Oak will be fascinating. We are particularly excited about the Talisker 35 year old – the oldest we have ever released from this celebrated distillery.

“And our ever-diminishing stocks of Brora and Port Ellen have once again been successfully explored for hidden treasures, which will no doubt further increase the huge over-demand for these rare products . It is amazing to think that those distilleries closed nearly 30 years ago.”

So, expect the usual rush for stocks and a word of warning.
Don’t get in the way of the stampede.

That is, unless you want a fine collection of size 9’s imprinted on your back!

Abbey Whisky	Bruichladdich Octomore 4.2 Comus / 167 PPM Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: Strength: Summary: Islay Single Malt Scotch WhiskyDistillery Bottling Aged for 5 years, Bruichladdich Octomore 4.2 Comus is the successor to the legendary Octomore Orpheus. Distilled from barley peated to a massive 167PPM, this Islay single malt whisky has been aged in the finest french oak before being finally finished in Premier Cru Superior Sauternes Casks (Chateau Y’Quem).Limited release of 18,000 bottles worldwide.Read More » “Comus” was a play written by poet John Milton and first performed in 1634 at Ludlow Castle, England. The work presents the desperate battle by Comus to ensnare a beautiful, innocent girl and through the hedonistic power of his magic potions to rob her of her virginity. Comus was the son of Bachhus [god of wine and revelling] and Circe, daughter of Helios the sun god and a sorceress who would beguile the innocent into drinking her magic potions. Bruichladdich Tasting Notes:Colour: Golden honey/ripe barley. Body: Medium weight and well defined for a young islander. The texture is rich, sweet and mellow and the viscosity of the sauterne brings balance to the power of the peat. This is a most sophisticated octomore and it’s kind of unbelievable to see “the beast” tamed a little! Nose: The opening is a beautiful combination of peat smoke, bracken, leather, tobacco pouches, bog-myrtle & briny waves. Then little twists of home-made mint toffee enter the system as do the nutty notes from the oaks – both french and american. And so the dance goes on but where is the french beauty? She waits patiently on the fringes then at exactly the right moment she makes her entrance from the epicentre of the spirit bringing aromatics and flavour the young Ileach could only dream about. It’s a brilliant engagement to experience. From deep in her soul she commits to this amazing relationship, the aromatics relay the message to the waiting taste buds to expect a whole new experience. The Grand Cru Sauterne flavours of pear syrup, plump bursting grapes, guava, passion fruits and cantaloupe with a dusting of icing sugar; you have to wonder just how surreal this is, a super heavy peated spirit being seduced by the delectable classic french beauty – passion changes everything! Palate: It’s absolutely outrageous, the coming together of flavours so far removed from each other you would think it would be a disaster but once again we stand in awe of imagination and the courage to take the consumer on this incredible journey of discovery. The kaleidoscope of aromatics transcends beautifully onto the palate which is going crazy with excitement. The smoke is the perfect foil for the Sauterne; this is Bruichladdich at its best, walking on the wild side, bringing pleasure and excitement to those who have that sense of adventure and passion that comes only from people who are totally committed to tradition, yet fearless in their search for the ultimate dram. Finish: This love affair should never have happened but it has and we are witness to its enchantment, passion and joyfulness as the flavours linger long into the night, ending on a drift of peat smoke and the marine magic that is truly Islay. « Read Less	£ 82.50 BUY NOW

Glenfarclas Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. The nose is still emanating some fresh aromas, with heavy oloroso sherry punching its way through. A strong alcohol nose, very surprising for the age. However , the taste is nothing like the nose, very mellow and pleasing, textures similar to a fine old port, very smooth and heavy tannins mixed together with wonderful sweetness. A whisky you really can enjoy, savour and appreciate time after time. A very long aftertaste that lingers for hours.

Glenfarclas Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Chocolate cocoa beans that have been dipped into treacle. Leathery and a hint of plum brandy, a surprising combination of aromas for the age. Incredibly smooth, rich dark chocolate, rather bitter on the offset, giving way to heavily sherried dryness.
