Ny aftapning fra Highland Park: "created especially for lovers of whisky and music."
Det er sådan at de første 1000 der køber Full Volume hos Highland Park får en 7 tommer vinyl plade med fra Saul Davies fra banded James.
"Whisky makers and music makers share a common goal – achieving that perfect balance by combining individual waves of flavour – or sound – to create true harmony. While music producers use amps and equalisers to fine-tune frequencies and alter tone or character, at Highland Park that’s the job of our Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion."

Stauning whisky kom i går med en ny aftapning der har navnet Heather.
Aftapningen har ligge på 200 liters ex-bourbon casks.
"Stauning Heather is a Single Malt Whisky. A whisky that appeals not only to fans of Islay whisky. It has got its smoky characteristics of drying and smoking the malted barley with burnt heather from the westcoast Heathlands. But as the smoke is very gentle, delicate and sweet it is not too much for non "Peat Heads"."

Benromach Distillery Company Ltd er nu kommet med en single cask 1977 vintage aftapning.
Denne 39 år gamle single malt har ligget på et Refill American Hogshead cask number 1268.
David King, Director hos Benromach siger: “Almost four decades have passed since cask 1268 was laid down to quietly mature in the traditional dunnage warehouses that surround Benromach Distillery. While this beautiful whisky drew its incredible depth, character and luxurious flavours from the wood, all around the cask, the distillery was evolving and changing. After it closed in 1983, the distillery lay silent for more than 15 years before it was revived by the Urquhart family."

Loch Lomond 50 har først ligget på American oak hogshead og herefter flyttet over på European oak hogshead hos Loch Lomond Distillery i Alexandria.
Master Blender, Michael Henry hos Loch Lomond siger: “The expectations are high when you are working with a whisky as special and scarce as this and it came with great responsibility, but selecting and perfecting this single malt was a true honour. Our stills are synonymous with the fruity notes they give to the whisky. The Loch Lomond 50 Year Old has been granted the time to truly concentrate that character, resulting in a rich, tropical fruit flavour.”
