Whisky For Everyone / 15 Years of Blogging

When our first blog post popped up on 28 March 2008 it was difficult to imagine that Whisky For Everyone would still be going 15 years later. Our fledgling interest in whisky, and Scotch in particular, led us to want to find out more. Writing things down seemed a good way to make facts, figures and tasting notes stick. If people read what we wrote then so be it - we gave it a working title of 'Whisky For Everyone' and it was our vehicle for learning.

Review / Perpetuity Blend

This whisky is a new blended Scotch from the Port of Leith distillery in Leith, Edinburgh. Perpetuity will be an ongoing bottling to be released in batches. The whiskies are taken from the blending team's 'perpetual vat' - this sees surplus whisky from previous bottlings continually married together. Half will always remain with new part-casks added. The first batch contains differing percentages of two single malts (21.9% of Glentauchers 6 years old from first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry hogheads and 23.9% of Deanston 9 years old from ex-bourbon barrels) and two single grains (32% of North British 7 years old from virgin American oak barrels and 22.2% of North British 13 years old from ex-bourbon barrels).
