Kininvie har været i gang med at eksperimentere og det er der kommet tre aftapninger ud af. En single malt whisky, en blended whisky og en grain whisky.
KVSM001 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Den første aftapning i serien er KVSM001, en single malt aftapning på 47%.
Formålet med denne aftapning er at undersøge hvorledes det fungere ved triple destillation.
Experiment: Establish the parameters to allow a third distillation process in the distillery. Run one week’s production using these parameters and compare.
Observations: We could see from the high wines/strong feints that the alcohol and esters are much higher. This is evident in the nosing – where we got very fruity esters with pear drops/candy notes.

Gordon & MacPhail hylder deres ‘Father of Single Malt’ George Urquhart med en Centenary Release.
Et fad fra Glen Grant, fyldt i 1956 og aftappet 62 år efter er blevet til Mr George Centenary edition.
Whisky skribenten Charles MacLean fortæller: "It is no exaggeration to say that George Urquhart was the father, the originator, of the current success and appreciation of Scotch malt whiskies."
George kom ind i Gordon & MacPhail i 1933 og arbejdede sammen med sin John, der blev ene ejer i 1915.
"‘Mr George’ went on to develop a deep understanding of Scotch whisky, especially the unique interaction that occurs over time between spirit and cask. He was instrumental to the success of single malt, championing it at a time when the vast majority of whisky went towards the production of blends. In 1968, he created the Connoisseurs Choice range giving little-known distilleries a platform to have their whisky enjoyed in its simplest form, as aged single malt."

Compass Box er kommet med tre aftapninger under navnet Myths and Legends.
"However, what start as myths can become received wisdom, influencing our understanding
and restricting our enjoyment. We have deployed blending to challenge assumptions, biases
and prejudices concerning Scotch in this limited edition series we call Myths & Legends"
Myths and Legends I er en single malt sammensat af tre fade fra Balblair i alderen fra 15 til 22 år udelukkende fra amerikansk eg.
Dette har givet 4394 flasker aftappet ved 46% og denne single malt er sammensat af Jill Boyd og James Saxon.

Master Distiller Brian Nation, har sammensat den seneste vintage aftapning fra Midleton af single pot still og single grain Irish whiskeys.
Fadene brugt til denne aftapning, er lightly-charred ex-bourbon American oak barrels der har ligget i 13 til 34 år inden de er aftappet.
Brian Nation siger: "Each year, for more than 5 decades, we have been setting aside very small amounts of particularly fine single pot still and single grain distillates so that the Midleton Very Rare legacy can continue. I am delighted that our 2019 vintage is once again a whiskey of exceptional quality that fits beautifully into the family. This vintage features an extraordinary blend of whiskeys from the rarest casks in our collection to make this is our oldest ever Midleton Very Rare, with the youngest whiskey in our 2019 vintage having been aged for 13 years, and the oldest dating back to 1985."
