Peated Highland Whisky 18 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) (700 ml, 45.8%

Elevate your senses with the remarkable complexity of our 18 Year Old Highland single malt, a masterful fusion of highland peat and sherry cask maturation that embodies the best of two worlds. From a marriage of ex-Bourbon, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximenez casks, savour the exquisite balance of smoke and sweetness that define its character. A small batch release of circa 1,000 litres each time Non chill-filtered, and natural cask matured colour NOSE: Woody and outdoorsy with clove, charred pineapple, peach and nectarine. Creamy vanilla and some furniture polish, with an ashen, meaty peat throughout. TASTE : Powerful and deep mix of sooty chimney smoke, herbaceous peat and old oak. A gentle texture with ripe fruits and cashew butter with savoury layers of parma ham and maillard/burnt sugar toasty notes. ABOUT THE LABEL Our label design settled for just the one deer, starting with a young buck, getting older, and more dignified, as the whiskies aged, finishing with the dominant stag who has been through some scapes in his life; older, wiser, and looks a little pissed with everything! Our Highland deer is a little more grown up once again, and has gained a few ‘pints’ on his antlers, and is now an Imperial Stage with 14 points… We love the expression on his face. he’s looking a even more serious this time.This is a now a very distinguished stag. Boutique-y Whisky artist, Emily Chappell, has captured our brief so perfectly, and has injected her magic into it, as usual. The colours of the labels reflect the colour palette of the Aurora Borealis, while the ‘wave pattern’ across all of the labels symbolises the way the Aurora Borealis is always moving in the sky, if you’ve been lucky enough to see it.
