One of a handful of Single Grain bottlings in the world, Greenoreâ€™s Silky smooth taste and rich character are the result of years of maturation in first fill ex-bourbon casks. During maturation, the rich spicy flavours of the whiskey combine with the American oak casks to develop subtle vanilla tones and a rich honey sweetness. Greenoreâ€™s exceptionally smooth and sweet taste makes this an exceedingly versatile whiskey accessible and appreciated by all taste buds.	£ 72.50 BUY NOW

Edencroft	Scotts Selection – Dumbarton – Single Grain Blended Whisky Country: Scotland Region: Blended Age: Strength: Summary: When this distillery closed I was almost beside myself with disappointment… and rage. Following the closure of Cambus, this left Dumbarton as the brightest star in the collapsing star in the collapsing grain whisky galaxy. This bottle will give year oldu some insight into just why I treasured it so greatly; certainly more so than the bead counters at Allied who saw its potential as prime real estate over its ability to keep making arguably the best blended Scotch whiskies in the world. My main point of surprise now is why so few bottlings from this giant of a distillery ever see the shelves.	£ 75.00 BUY NOW
Edencroft	Scotts Selection – Girvan – Single Grain Blended Whisky Country: Scotland Region: Blended Age: Strength: Summary: Excellent and unexpected early arrival of spice which adds serious oomph to the buttery toffee that tries to lead.

Edencroft	Scotts Selection – Port Dundas – Single Grain Blended Whisky Country: Scotland Region: Blended Age: Strength: Summary: Less melts-in-the-mouth, as simply vanishes.

Edencroft	Ardbeg – Blasda Country: Scotland Region: Islay Age: Strength: Summary: We all know Ardbeg packs a peaty punch, but if year oldu remove some of that peat, can Ardbeg still retain its perfect balance? The mind bog-gling answer is “yes”! By taming our usual mighty peating levels we created Blasda, peated to an average of just 8 parts per million phenol (8ppm) compared to the more usual 24ppm. Blasda is still perfectly balanced, but light, sweet and delicious.	£ 45.00 BUY NOW

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!
