.abbey whisky - anon - batch one

Distilled in one of Scotland's finest distilleries (don't they all use that claim every now and then?), bottled for Abbey Whisky's rare cask series.

.kilchoman - 5yo - abbey whisky #285/09

Not a classic Kilchoman, if there even exists such a thing, but the characteristics are there.

Distilled in 1991, aged in a refill ex-Bourbon cask for 22 years and bottled into 96 bottles in 2014, this Glencadam is the fourth release of Abbey whisky's the Rare Casks portfolio.

.bunnahabhain - 23yo - abbey whisky

.glendronach - 1994 - 20yo - abbey whisky - #3400

Abbey whisky releases several single casks each year, to add to their selection for us to purchase in their store. We were among the lucky ones to receive a sample of this particular series and have a go at this 20 year old GlenDronach, matured in cask #3400, distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2014.
