BenRiach
The innovative BenRiach distillery has announced a new product for their developing core range that will showcase their heritage of making peated single malt on Speyside. Historic research shows that BenRiach was the first restart producing peated spirit, which was once common in the Speyside region, back in the early 1970s. The new BenRiach Temporis is bottled at 21 years old and highlights the fact that the distillery is the only distillery in Speyside to have any such aged peated stock.
The Temporis 21 years old has been created by Rachel Barrie, the Master Blender for the distillery's owners Brown-Forman, and will sit alongside the Classic 21 years old in the core range. Like the Classic expression, Barrie has used an eclectic mix of four cask types to create the whisky - ex-bourbon, ex-Oloroso sherry, ex-Pedro Ximinez sherry and virgin oak. It is bottled at 46% ABV and is non chill-filtered and of natural colour. The Temporis will be available worldwide with a recommended retail price of £135.
Douglas Laing
The independent bottling company of Douglas Laing & Co. are continuing their 70th anniversary celebrations with the release of the second bottling in their XOP Platinum series. The bottling is a single cask from the now-closed Port Dundas distillery in Glasgow, the home of Douglas Laing. It was distilled in 1978 and is released at 40 years old.
A new whisky will be released to the XOP Platinum series for each quarter of 2018. The series kicked off with the Ardbeg 25 years old in March. The Port Dundas 1978 is bottled at the natural cask strength of 59.1% ABV and is non chill-filtered and of natural colour. Each bottle, which is hand signed by current Chairman Fred Laing, will cost £350.
GlenDronach
A second release this week from Brown-Forman sees the east Highland distillery of GlenDronach announcing the latest bottling in their annual limited edition cask strength series. The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7 combines single malt matured in both ex-Oloroso and ex-Pedro Ximinez sherry casks and has been created by Rachel Barrie, the Master Blender ( - she featured earlier, if you were paying attention). This year's expression is bottled at 57.9% and is non chill-filtered and of natural colour. It is available in limited quantities worldwide and a bottle will cost £60.
"The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7 continues our tradition of marrying the best Spanish oak sherry casks with our robust Highland malt. Batch 7 offers a unique opportunity to get to know the richly sherried yet smooth and mellow side of GlenDronach's cask maturation at the natural cask strength."
