This Scotch whisky bottling is the first-ever age statement single malt in the core range of King's Inch. The King's Inch 8 years old has been created by owners Courageous Spirits, who have selected a Lowland single malt that has been matured in ex-bourbon casks and ex-Oloroso sherry butts and then vatted them together. There are just 1,500 bottles available.
The Glasgow distillery has announced the latest bottlings in its Small Batch Series of single malts - the Glasgow 1770 Cognac Cask Finish (pictured, above left) and Tokaji Cask Finish (pictured, above right). Both are the second batches of these whiskies to be released, but the first ever from the distillery to carry an age statement. Both are bottled at six years old, natural cask strength, non-chill filtered and of natural colour.
This is a new addition to the core single malt range of the north Highland distillery of Glenmorangie. The Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve has married three different cask types together to take the spirit in a different direction. These are ex-bourbon, charred new American oak and ex-rye whiskey casks. It has been created by Gillian Macdonald, Master Blender for Glenmorangie, and will be the new kick-off point for the core range and ahead of the recently released The Original 12 years old, which replaced the former 10 year old version.
